Attractive first American edition of this "transsexual" autiobiography by Welsh journalist and travel writer Jan Morris (1926-2020), detailing with candor and sensitivity her ten-year journey of transition and gender reassignment surgery. Morris's first book published as "Jan," and a high point in the literature of the trans experience, frequently compared to Christine Jorgensen's A Personal Autobiography (1967) for its wide-reaching impact.
