A very rare, signed and inscribed first edition biography by April Ashley, transgendger and LGBTQ icon. In good condition with some signs of ageing. Some foxing on the edges. ​A remarkable, signed true first edition of this landmark piece of LGBTQ+ history. ​This copy of April Ashley’s Odyssey is uniquely hand-signed and inscribed by April Ashley on the title page. In a charming and personal touch, Ashley has neatly crossed out her printed name on the title page, adding her handwritten inscription above and below it. Co-written with Duncan Fallowell, this poignant and witty memoir details Ashley's early life in the Liverpool slums, her groundbreaking gender affirmation surgery in Casablanca in 1960, her successful career as a Vogue fashion model, her high-profile marriage annulment, and her dazzling life among the 1960s bohemian elite.
