The original rock 'n' roll drag queen, Jayne County has worked with Andy Warhol, David Bowie, Derek Jarman and others. This free-wheeling autobiography is a shameless account of Jayne's gender-bending career, from her early days in Georgia to her current 1990s renaissance.
Remember Wayne County and the Electric Chairs? Long before drag queens dominated the media, before gender-bending, before punk, even before Stonewall, there was W/Jayne County. From the 60?s to the 90?s she?s been the craziest, the most extreme queen ever to hit a rock ?n? roll stage. She?s known and worked with Warhol, Bowie and Derek Jarman, been an actress, a singer and a prostitute. She?s the world?s original and only rock ?n? roll transsexual, crossing the genders in the full glare of publicity. Man Enough to be a Woman is the wild, hilarious and shameless account of Jayne?s life from her cissy-boy childhood in Georgia to her current 90s renaissance, as a new wave of superstars claim her as their inspiration.
