The bestselling, seminal work of trans literature: a story of love, sex, selfhood, and understanding from Jennifer Finney Boylan When she changed genders, she changed the world. It was the groundbreaking publication of Shes Not There in 2003 that jump-started the transgender revolution. By turns hilarious and deeply moving, Boylan a cast member on I Am Cait; an advisor to the television series Transparent , and a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times -- explores the territory that lies between men and women, examines changing friendships, and rejoices in the redeeming power of love and family. Shes Not There was one of the first works to present trans experience from the perspective of a literary novelist, opening a door to new understanding of love, sex, gender, and identity. Boylan inspired readers to ask the same questions she asked herself: What is it that makes us---ourselves? What does it mean to be a man, or a woman? How much could my husband, or wife, change--and still be recognizable as the one I love? Boylans humorous, wise voice helped make Shes Not There 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. This updated and revised edition also includes a new epilogue from Jennys wife Grace; it also contains the original afterward by her friend, novelist and Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Russo. Love will prevail, said Boylans conservative mother, as she learned about her daughters identity. Shes Not There is the story that helped bring about a world in which that change seems almost possible.
