 Dress Codes: Of Three Girlhoods—My Mother's, My Father's and Mine
By Noelle HoweyFrom the show More Husbands Who Became Women 
From the Publisher:
Throughout her childhood in suburban Ohio, Noelle struggled to gain love and affection from her distant father. In compensating for her father's brusqueness, Noelle idolized her nurturing tomboy mother and her conservative grandma who tried to turn her into "a little lady." At age fourteen, Noelle's mom told her the family secret: "Dad likes to wear women's clothes." As Noelle coped with a turbulent adolescence, her father began to metamorphose into the loving parent she had always longed for—only now outfitted in pedal pushers and pink lipstick. With edgy humor, courage and remarkable sensitivity, Noelle Howey challenges all of our beliefs in what constitutes gender and a "normal" family. |
