April Ashley Exhibition

The Museum of Liverpool will host a new major exhibition this September looking at the history of transgendered people in Britain over the past 70 years, focusing on the experiences of April Ashley. 

From 27 September 2013 - 21 September 2014, April Ashley: Portrait of a lady will - for the first time - explore the story of April Ashley MBE, one of the first people in the world to undergo pioneering gender reassignment surgery and whose divorce case in 1970 (Corbett v Corbett) had profound effects on the trans community in the UK.
