April Ashley: The Vogue Model Who Became A Transgender Icon

Born in the 1935 slums of Liverpool, April Ashley was one of the first people to undergo gender reassignment surgery at a time when it was nearly unheard of. A secret that would eventually derail her modeling career amid public scandal.


April Ashley’s life is the focus of a new exhibition at The Museum Of Liverpool.


April Ashley: Portrait of a Lady will depict April’s "very public story" and "investigate the wider impact of changing social and legal conditions for all trans and lesbian, gay and bisexual people."
