Nicky Phillips never thought of herself as anything but a girl.

As a child, growing up in the 1940s and '50s, she wore little-girl dresses, shiny shoes, and bobby socks. When she got a bit older, she started to wear lipstick and pearls.

Puberty brought with it the same uncertainty and awkwardness it brings most young women. But in Phillips's case, her body wasn't changing in the same ways as other girls.
