What makes a woman a woman? Is it her biology? Is it a rite of passage? Is it society? Is it all a performance?

As she transitions from male to female, and her body gets in line with her mind, Juno Dawson explores feminism and femininity in science, society, the media and culture.

Part memoir, party diary of her transition, Juno's wry, humorous take on her life and the world is funny, fresh and unflinching.
