From the age of 4 a little boy called James felt he was really a girl. This dilemma dogged his life through childhood, adolescence, a career as a successful journalist and writer, marriage and fatherhood. In this revealing memoir, published in 1974, we follow Morris's 10-year journey changing from male to female. The need and determination is palpable but one question remains: Is gender absolutely paramount in defining who we are? Freud, of course, would say, Yes!
