    AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SUBJECT OF TRANSVESTISM OR FEMMIPHILIA (cross dressing)
    (Los Angeles, CA: Foundation for Full Personality Expression, 1960) Author unknown [Virginia Prince?]
    From the introduction: "It is the purpose of this leaflet to shed some light on [the subject of transvestism] for the benefit of any who are interested, but primarily for doctors, lawyers, jurists, police, councilors, ministers etc. so that they may become familiar with the subject and better able to deal with it when it comes to their attention and particularly to help them distinguish it from homosexuality."
