Man Into Woman: An Authentic Record of a Change of Sex

Edited by Niels Hoyer

First edition, first printing of one of the most important and influential works in transgender history. Published in 1933 and edited by Niels Hoyer from the diaries and papers of Danish painter Lili Elbe, the volume chronicles Elbe's pioneering transition and experimental surgeries, making it among the earliest published first-person narratives of gender transition. Issued at a time when such subjects were rarely discussed outside medical circles, Man into Woman remains a landmark of LGBTQ+ history, modern sexology, and autobiographical literature.

New York: E.P. Dutton & Co., 1933. Publisher's original light blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt; pp. xiii, [1], 15-288; illustrated with 18 plates. A very good copy. Binding remains sturdy and square, spine toned and sunned with moderate uneven fading to boards, minimal shelfwear. Scattered light foxing, else internally clean. Very scarce.
