True Sex
Winner, 2018 U.S. History PROSE Award The incredible stories of how trans men assimilated into mainstream communities in the late 1800s In 1883, Frank Dubois gained national attention for his life in Waupun, Wisconsin. There he was known as a hard-working man, married to a young woman named Gertrude Fuller.

Josephine "Dadie" Jordan. Dadie, the niece of famed Charles Dana Gibson (creator of the Gibson Girl and former owner of Life Magazine) was born into a well-connected and powerful Washington, D.C., family, but learned at an early age that the life of a society girl was not for her. She set off on the journey of a lifetime, and her compelling story is a tug-o'-war between tragedy and triumph. Her only goal was to live life on her own terms no matter the consequences, and she did just that. Although Dadie manages to be simple and highly complicated at the same time, given the totality of her life, one can only admire her. Because she insisted on living her life on her terms and in her own way, ...
