Autobiography of an Androgyne
About this book
Autobiography of an Androgyne is an autobiographical account of Ralph Werther, who was born female but later identified as an androgyne, meaning a person with both masculine and feminine characteristics. The book chronicles Werther's journey of self-discovery, including struggles with gender identity, sexuality, and mental illness. Werther describes growing up in a strict religious household and feeling like an outsider due to their gender identity. As they enter adulthood, Werther becomes involved in the early 20th-century LGBTQ+ community and eventually meets a doctor who performs a hysterectomy, allowing Werther to present as male. The book also covers Werther's relationships with lovers, both male and female and their experiences with discrimination and social stigma. Throughout the book, Werther explores the complexities of gender and identity and highlights the importance of self-acceptance and understanding.
