Non-Fiction Memoir
We have read the stories of those who have "crossed" lines
of race and class and culture. But few have written of
crossing—completely and entirely—the gender line. Crossing
is the story of Deirdre McCloskey (formerly Donald), once a
golden boy of conservative economics and a child of 1950s
and 1960s privilege, and her dramatic and poignant journey
to becoming a woman. McCloskey's account of her painstaking
efforts to learn to "be a woman" unearth fundamental
questions about gender and identity, and hatreds and
anxieties, revealing surprising answers.
