She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders

She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders

The bestselling, seminal work of trans literature: a story of love, sex, selfhood, and understanding from Jennifer Finney Boylan
Â
When she changed genders, she changed the world. Â It was the groundbreaking publication of Sheâ€™s Not There in 2003 that jump-started the transgender revolution.Â By turns hilarious and deeply moving, Boylan â€“ a cast member onÂ I Am Cait;Â an advisor to the television seriesÂ Transparent, and a contributing opinion writer for theÂ New York TimesÂ -- explores the territory that lies between men and women, examines changing friendships, and rejoices in the redeeming power of love and family.Â
Â
Sheâ€™s Not ThereÂ was one of the first works to present trans experience from the perspective of a literary novelist, openingÂ a door to new understanding of love, sex, gender, and identity.Â Â Boylan inspired readers to ask the same questions she asked herself:Â What is it that makes us---ourselves?Â What does it mean to be a man, or a woman?Â How much could my husband, or wife, changeâ€”and still be recognizable as the one I love?
Â
Boylanâ€™s humorous, wise voice helped makeÂ Sheâ€™s Not ThereÂ the first bestselling work by a transgender American--and transformed Boylan into a national spokeswoman for LGBTQ people, their families, and the people that love them.Â This updated and revised edition also includes a new epilogue from Jennyâ€™s wife Grace; it also contains the original afterward by her friend, novelist and Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Russo.
Â
â€œLove will prevail,â€ said Boylanâ€™s conservative mother, as she learned about her daughterâ€™s identity.Â Sheâ€™s Not ThereÂ is the story that helped bring about a world in which that change seems almost possible.
