Christine Jorgensen - A Personal Autobiography

“Fate placed Christine Jorgensen in the limelight, but her own talent and charisma kept her there. She threw herself heart and soul into playing the part of the world’s first famous transsexual: educating and entertaining, being gracious and glamorous, striving for the respect that every individual should be given as a birthright. Given a very narrow path to walk through life, she found a way to walk it with style. This act of simple dignity is her enduring achievement and greatest legacy.” -Susan Stryker, from the Introduction
