In 1930 Danish artist Einar Wegener underwent a series of surgeries
to live as Lili Ilse Elvenes (more commonly known as Lili Elbe).
Her life story, Fra Mand til Kvinde (From Man to Woman), published
in Copenhagen in 1931, is the first popular full-length
(auto)biographical narrative of a subject who undergoes genital
transformation surgery (Genitalumwandlung). In Man Into Woman: A
Comparative Scholarly Edition, Pamela L. Caughie and Sabine Meyer
present the full text of the 1933 American edition of Elbe's work
with comprehensive notes on textual and paratextual variants across
the four published editions in three languages. This edition also
includes a substantial scholarly introduction which situates the
historical and intellectual context of Elbe's work, as well as new
essays on the work by leading scholars in transgender studies and
modernist literature, and critical coverage of the 2015 biopic, The
Danish Girl. This print edition has a digital companion: the Lili
Elbe Digital Archive (www.lilielbe.org). Launched on July 6, 2019,
to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Magnus
Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Science (Institut fur
Sexualwissenschaft) where Lili Elbe was initially examined, the
Lili Elbe Digital Archive hosts the German typescript and all four
editions of this narrative published in Danish, German, and English
between 1931 and 1933, with English translations of the Danish
edition and the typescript. Many letters from archives and
contemporaneous articles noted in this print edition may be found
in the digital archive.
