Jorgenson was born to a carpenter and his wife in Bronx, New York in 1926. After graduating high school, she was drafted to fight in World War II. When she returned from her service abroad, she traveled to Europe and in Copenhagen, Denmark, obtained special permission to undergo a series of operations starting in 1951. Christine Jorgensen was an American trans woman who was the first person to become widely known in the United States for having sex reassignment surgery. She became an instant celebrity, using the platform to advocate for transgender people. The first authorized account of her story was written by Jorgensen herself in a February 1953 issue of The American Weekly, titled "The Story of My Life". In 1959 she announced her engagement to typist Howard J. Knox. But, the couple was unable to obtain a marriage license because Jorgensen's birth certificate listed her as male. In a report about the broken engagement, The New York Times noted that Knox had lost his job in Washington, D.C. when his engagement to Jorgensen became known. According to a biography in 1970. it was recorded film The Christine Jorgensen Story. During the 1970s and 1980s, Jorgensen toured university campuses and other venues to speak about her experiences. She was known for her directness and polished wit. Jorgensen also worked as an actress and nightclub entertainer and recorded several songs. In her nightclub act, she sang several songs, including "I Enjoy Being a Girl", and at the end made a quick change into a Wonder Woman costume. She later recalled that Warner Communications demanded that she stop using the character; she did so and instead used a new character of her own invention, Superwoman, who was marked by the inclusion of a large letter S on her cape. In 1984, Jorgensen returned to Copenhagen to perform her show and was featured in Teit Ritzau's Danish transsexual documentary film Paradiset er ikke til salg (Paradise Is Not for Sale). Jorgensen was the first and only known trans woman to perform at Oscar's Delmonico Restaurant in downtown New York, for which owners Oscar and Mario Tucci received criticism. On one occasion she said: "We didn't start the sexual revolution but I think we gave it a good kick in the pants!" She died in 1989 of bladder and lung cancer four weeks short of her 63rd birthday.
