Los Angeles: Chevalier Publications, 1976. First edition. 145pp. Printed wraps. Very good or better, with toning and light soiling to covers and textblock edges. A work purporting to offer explanations and guidance for those interested in crossdressing, as well as their (female) partners, incorporating both original texts and reprints of earlier pamphlets and essays; an important summae of the beliefs and tenets of Virginia Prince (1912-2009), one of the first and most important figures in the field of heterosexual transvestite activism. Notable for publishing groundbreaking magazine Transvestia beginning in 1960, Prince also founded the support organization soon to be known as the Foundation for Personality Expression (FPE). In 1976, the FPE merged with another crossdressing group to become the Society for the Second Self, or Tri-Ess, under which name it still exists today. Show more
