Bert & Lori: The Autobiography of a Crossdresser
Robert J. Rowe,
Publisher: Prometheus Books
ISBN: 1573921491   DDC: 306.77   Edition: Hardcover; 1997-07

Summary:

Though Robert J. Rowe has disguised his true identity, this is the
true story of a college history instructor and writer who leads a
altogether alternative life at home, with his loving and
understanding wife. This unapologetic fetishist reveals how he became
interested in women's clothing, explores his sexual development, and
details a personal interest that turned into a private lifestyle, as
well as a new area of study for the scholar. More than just a
straightforward autobiography, Bert & Lori reaches beyond the
personal to include thoughtful psychological and behavioural issues
imbedded in cross-dressing.Helping to make this book a one-of-a-kind
are the additional writings by Jill Rowe, the author's wife, an
experienced journalist who adds her unique perspective on the secret
life she shares with her husband. Mrs Rowe's candid yet moving and
exciting reflections stand as the only systematic discussion to date
of the experiences of a cross-dresser's wife. "Bert & Lori" is highly
personal and frank regarding sexual issues; a story that others dare
not write. Yet it also contains virtually all available research on
cross-dressing, the philosophy that inspired the author, and
recollections of his first failed marriage. Written clearly and
convincingly, the book allows the public to look at transvestism with
open eyes and with understanding.
