Jen Manion offers an insightful exploration into the forgotten history of British and American people assigned female at birth who lived and loved as men. The book explores how their identities were often only publicly known through divorce proceedings, and how the press came to know them as “female husbands”. An insightful journey into the intersections of trans identity, women’s rights, and sapphic history.

Excerpts
It is a good example of the way Manion presents these transgressions of historical and even present expectations of gender as mundane, in defiance of the era of politicising of trans identity that Manion writes under. The paragraph does not end here, and continues on with other aspects of Hamilton’s life. This is just one part of their whole story that makes up who they were.
