I Am My Own Wife tells
of author Doug Wright's fascination with the life of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf,
a German transvestite caught up in the great European dramas of the 20th
century. Unlike many contemporaries, von Mahlsdorf survived the Nazi regime
and its replacement in East Germany, the Soviet-dominated Communist
dictatorship.
