I Want What I Want (Valancourt 20th Century Classics)

In Geoff Brown’s groundbreaking novel I Want What I Want, Wendy Ross seeks to live authentically as a modern, independent woman, but struggles against societal and familial expectations as she navigates life under the misidentified name of Roy Clark. Facing mistreatment from her father and misunderstanding from her sister, Wendy's journey of self-discovery unfolds as she escapes a mental hospital at 21 with an inherited legacy. Set in 1960s England, the story deepens when she falls in love with the charming Frank, complicating her quest for acceptance and love. Originally published in 1966, this landmark work is a significant contribution to transgender literature.
