One Day I’ll Grow Up and Be a Beautiful Woman

by Abi Maxwell’02
Knopf, 2024

One Day I'll Grow Up and Be a Beautiful Woman by Abi Maxwell'02 This memoir of gender identity, class, and trans youth follows a New Hampshire family caught up in America’s culture wars, and the author’s struggle to contend with the rural America where she was raised and where she is now raising her daughter.

A heartbreaking and riveting book that is essential reading for this moment in history.
