Description
Laxmi's candid, powerful memoir—the life story of one of India's most prominent and most courageous transgender activists—combines her personal account of living as a hijra in India with a sharp analysis of the social structures, the violence, and the ongoing fight for rights that define the lives of transgender people across the subcontinent. Written with a directness and a courage that have made her one of India's most important and most heard advocacy voices, this is essential reading for every person committed to understanding the full range of Indian society. An important and necessary memoir.
