The Man-Woman Case: Convicted by the press

 photo falleni_zps52dacdc9.jpgI see there’s a new book due out soon by Mark Tedeschi QC that may be of some interest.  It’s title is Eugenia: A True Story of Adversity, Tragedy, Crime and Courage, which in true Guardian fashion offers offense from the first word of the title.  There is a web site for the book as well.

Tedeschi writes as a lawyer, not as a historian.  His purpose is to expose a miscarriage of justice.

Born Eugenia Falleni in 1875, the subject of this biography is a (female-to-male) transgender man who was more variously known as Eugene Falleni, Harry Leo Crawford, and Jean Ford.
