Conundrum

The writer Jan Morris was born James Morris. He was a military man who became a successful journalist, discovered mountains and deserts and wrote about the British empire. He married a woman, had children and seemed to live a happy life as a man. But James Morris knew from childhood that he was really female. His book Conundrum tells the story of his true identity and how he decided to bring it into the open, starting with hormone treatment and eventually undergoing surgery that turned him into the woman he'd always been inside.
