Jen Manion offers an insightful exploration into the forgotten history of British and American people assigned female at birth who lived and loved as men. The book explores how their identities were often only publicly known through divorce proceedings, and how the press came to know them as “femal husbands”. An insightful journey into the intersections of trans identity, women’s rights, and sapphic history.
