About Tall Annie: A Life In Two Genders:

Author Anne Graham lived the first 46 years of her life in a male role, hiding a life-long sense of being in the wrong gender. Her autobiography shares the repression that was necessary to survive back then and finally the joy of becoming the person she had been denied in 1996.  It is a story of a carefully managed transition bounded on both sides by a high level of contribution to society in both genders.  Anne hopes that sharing the real lived experience of her life in this book will help dispel some of the misinformation around a life such as hers.
