A highly scarce and culturally significant first edition copy of Roberta Cowell's Story by Herself, published in London by William Heinemann Ltd in 1954. Includes the original preface by Canon Milllbourn. This groudbreaking autobiography documents the incredible life of Robe…rta Cowell (1918-2011). Born in Croydon, she achieved early success as a competitive racing driver and served bravely as a WWII fighter pilot and Spitfire ace. After surviving capture as a POW, she embarked on a journey of transition in the late 1940s, ultimately undergoing the first known vaginoplasty in England, and securing legal recognition of her female gender in 1951. A vital, foundational text in transgender and mid-century social history. This volume is in Very Good vintage condition. Bound in the original textured navy blue cloth with silver lettering stamped on the spine. The binding remains firm, square and solid. Minor expected shelf wear at the corners and spine edges. The interior pages are clean and bright with no tears.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. London: William Heinemann, 1954. First edition. Preface by Canon Millbourn. xi, 154pp; frontis; plates. Blue cloth stamped in silver to spine; lacking the jacket. Boards rather rubbed, lightly bowed, and with bumping to corners; binding a little loose, but secure. Good. Signed, inscribed, a…nd dated in year of publication by Cowell to front endpaper: "To Charles: Without whose help this book would not have been written. Very Sincerely, Roberta (Betty) Cowell July, 1954." Presentation copy of this trailblazing trans memoir by English race car driver and WWII fighter pilot Roberta Cowell (1918-2011). Though we have not established the identity of Cowell's inscribee, we hypothesize that it may have been Charles Eugene Dusseau, a doctor who in 1951 was responsible for having name and gender revised on Cowell's birth certificate, thus making her the first person to have their gender officially changed in the UK— an event seemingly worthy of the sincere gratitude offered here: "without whose help this book would not have been written." Cowell is also notable for being among the first trans people in the UK to undergo gender affirming surgery, carried out in her case by physician and author Michael Dillon (1915-1962), himself a trans man; the two enjoyed a close, if unequal friendship, which culminated in Cowell rejecting a marriage proposal from Dillon. Cowell's memoir propelled her to sudden fame, after several years of which she retired into relative obscurity for the rest of her life. An uncommon first, rarely encountered signed. Inscribed by Author(s).

In den Warenkorbdj. First printing. First US edition of one of the earliest autobiographies published by a woman to have undergone sex reassignment surgery. While scholar Sandy Stone claims in her landmark 1991 essay "The Transsexual Empire Strikes Back" that Hedy Jo Star's I CHANGED MY SEX! (1962) was the "first fully autobiographical book" by… a transgender person, that first is better claimed by Roberta Cowell, whose memoir appeared eight years earlier in both the UK and US. Stone's article distinguished between works like Star's or Cowell's and prior works like MAN INTO WOMAN by Lili Elbe (various editions, 1931-1933), which was heavily edited posthumously from diaries. Cowell's book therefore arguably represents just the second published work by a person to have successfully undergone SRS. It was preceded, as far as our research indicates, only by Michael Dillon's SELF - which was not autobiographical - eight years earlier. Indeed, Dillon himself was instrumental in Cowell's transition. The two met after Cowell read Dillon's landmark work, which was "the first sustained argument for technologically mediated sex change" (Hausman). Cowell recounts in STORY: "Then came the surprise, a surprise so shattering that the scene will be crystal-clear in my memory for the rest of my life. He sat there, sucking at his pipe and toying with his coffee cup. He was silent for a minute or two, and I was idly wondering how long that beard of his had taken to grow. Suddenly, 'I don't really see why I shouldn't tell you,' he said, 'but five years ago I was a woman.' Such a possibility had never entered my head for one moment. As I looked at him now it seemed absolutely and utterly fantastic, quite unbelievable, but I was not then fully aware of all that modem medical science could do." Dillon subsequently became the doctor to undertake the first of Cowell's gender confirmation surgeries, a procedure done under the strictest secrecy due to so-called "mayhem" laws. A subsequent surgery allowed Cowell to formally change her birth certificate, but after the initial publicity surrounding her transition, Cowell largely retreated from public life. However, she paid a heavy price: once a military officer, pilot, and successful professional race car driver, she struggled financially the rest of her life before dying in 2011 - her funeral reportedly attended by only six people. An important work from a transgender pioneer. While we've handled the UK first a few times, this is the first we've encountered the US edition, which seems decidedly more scarce. 8'' x 5.25''. Original full blue cloth. In original unclipped ($3.00) jacket. Illustrated in two inserted sections with black-and-white photographs. 208 pages. Contemporary owner inscription penned to front endpaper. A couple small, faint dampstains to rear panel, unobtrusive. Some edgewear, with spot rubbed away to foot of spine; crease to front flap. Bottom edge of boards a bit scuffed. Overall, bright and sound. Very good plus in very good jacket.

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 bot…tom 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.".
