    First edition. First edition. xii, 154 pp. Bound in publisher's navy cloth with silver spine lettering. About Very Good with light dampstaining to cloth along bottom edge, slightly musty smell, a little foxing along top edge, in About Very Good dust jacket with toned spine panel, head and tail chipped, dampstaining along bottom edge. Uncommon. In The SAGE Encyclopedia of Trans Studies Genny Bemyn calls this "an account by the woman who had the first known vaginoplasty in England and who was legally recognized as female in 1951. Being the first British trans woman to undergo surgery and having achieved some fame previously as a race car driver, Cowell's transition made headlines in Britain.".
