Cleavage
by Jennifer Finney Boylan
Twenty years after her groundbreaking memoir She’s Not There, Jennifer Finney Boylan reflects on the lived reality of womanhood and the evolution of transgender identity. Moving beyond the 'spangles' of early transition, this collection of stories examines the differences between manhood and womanhood across food, fashion, love, and loss. Boylan offers a poignant look at what it means to age, the complexities of memory, and the universal tension between our desire for change and our fear of it. It is a deeply human exploration of the fertile territory that lies between two worlds.
