Liz Hodgkinson: Biography / autobiography

Michael née Laura
The story of the world's first female-to-male transsexual

Oxford Blue, garage hand, medical student, philanthropist, ship's doctor, prolific author, heir to a baronetcy and ordained Buddhist; the subject of this biography was all of these, but most extraordinary of all, Michael Dillon was born female.

Two girls on the street

Follow the hilarious, dangerous and sometimes frightening fortunes of two pioneer female tabloid journalists on the Fleet Street of the 1970s, as they fought, boozed, investigated and wrote their way into this tight-knit, highly exclusive and highly paid men’s club.

It was a time when only the most determined, ambitious (and some may say foolhardy) women broke through, and among them were Liz Hodgkinson and Shan Davies, girl reporters at the Sunday People in its highly successful and ruthless heyday.
