In reading these 1950s biographies at a later time it is easy to see why feminist claim that transsexuals reify gender stereotypes. Changing sex is a process of resocialization and learning done at a point in time and consistent with the contemporary social milieu. The 1950s were an era of backlash against the feminism that had produced women's suffrage, no less so in the UK than in the US.
