James Morris writer and historian was in charge of codifying the news to the first succesful expedition to mount Everest.
Her life itself is worth checking. She was born as a man, married and had children. Later on he found out that he was not in the right body and that he has been born a trasgender.
He had to go to Morocco for help but she and his wife were together for the rest of their lives. They got married again in 2008 when it was legal in England.
He wrote a book about that . RIP.

That's quite a life, Marguicha. I'm not sure which books were written by this author.

@marguicha There are many authors that I've never heard of. Yet, their books are excellent!
