- Summary
- "The idea of a male person becoming a woman temporarily or permanently is just something out of the realm of ordinary things. Most people would assume that any male who would do this would be either homosexual or transexual (a sex change). This book is, however, written for a group of normally heterosexual men who admire and envy women so much that they greatly enjoy the opportunity to temporarily leave their everyday masculine selves behind and enter the fascinating world of femininity"--Back cover.
