A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

After almost half a century living as a male, Joanne Herman transitioned in 2002 to live as a female in order to resolve a gender incongruity she had felt for as long as she remembers. She has since been increasingly active as a spokeswoman for transgender awareness and understanding. Joanne's numerous columns written for Advocate.com, a popular LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) news website, have helped educate readers about transgender and gender non-conforming people and the issues they face, and are the foundation for this book. Joanne is the first transgender person ever elected the Boards of Directors of Fenway Health, Point Foundation, and GLAD. She is the first openly transgender member of the congregation of Old South Church in Boston (United Church of Christ), the same church where Benjamin Franklin was baptized and Samuel Adams served as a deacon. And she is one of the first openly transgender alumnae of Dartmouth College, as a graduate of the last all-male class. Dartmouth's then-President Jim Wright awarded her a Class of 1975 diploma in her new name in 2006.Joanne holds a BA in Government and Economics from Dartmouth and an MS/MBA from Northeastern University. She is currently Financial Controller at New England Foundation for the Arts and lives in Boston with her fiancee, Theresa (Terry) Fallon. Joanne is also fluent in French and an avid bowler.
