description: For fifty years, internationally respected artist Erica Rutherford, who was born a male, struggled with the conviction that she was the wrong gender. At the age of fifty, she finally made the decision to live her life as a woman. Erica Rutherford's story is much more than a recounting of that basic struggle with gender. Her constant searching led her to embrace change and intensity of experience, and her story is peopled with a fascinating cast of characters- actor Dirk Bogarde, director Orson Welles, stage designer Oliver Messel, architect Marcel Breurer, and a host of others. She has lived on several continents and nurtured careers that have varied from film producer to farmer. Now in her seventies and living on Prince Edward Island, Canada, Erica continues her work as an artist and author.Erica Rutherford's life is one that, above all, eloquently affirms the variety and vitality of human possibility.
