In 1930 Danish artist Einar Wegener underwent a series of surgeries to become Lili Elvenes (more commonly known as Lili Elbe). Her life story, Fra Mand til Kvinde (From Man Into Woman), published in Copenhagen in 1931, is the first full-length (auto)biographical narrative of a subject who undergoes a surgical change in sex.

In Man Into Woman: A Comparative Scholarly Edition, Pamela L. Caughie and Sabine Meyer present the full text of the 1933 American edition of Elbe's work with comprehensive notes on textual and paratextual variants across the four published editions throughout. This edition also includes a substantial scholarly introduction which situates the historical and intellectual context of Elbe's work, as well as new essays on the work by leading scholars in gender studies, modernist literature and life writing, and critical coverage of the 2015 biopic, The Danish Girl.

Industry Reviews

Those working on gender and sex identity, trans and intersex history, and the extraordinary lives of Gerda Wegener and Lili Elbe have been anxiously awaiting the publication of an authoritative edition of Elbe's Man into Woman. Pamela Caughie and Sabine Meyer have put together a superb edition that will significantly advance scholarship and be a crucial resource for decades. * Michael Lackey, Distinguished McKnight University Professor, University of Minnesota Morris, USA *
At last! The first authentic record of Man Into Woman's complex publication history, making the actual, quais-fictionalized, multi-authored account of the person best remembered as the "Danish Girl" Lili Elbe available to scholarly and popular audiences alike. A major contribution to the 20th-century history of gender. * Susan Stryker, Professor of Gender and Women's Studies, University of Arizona, USA *
