'Brilliantly told ... The extraordinary story of a boy, a drag queen, and a nation' Graham Norton

Woman in the Making Summary

Woman in the Making: Panti's Memoir by Rory O'Neill

'Today, as I walked through Dublin city centre, I saw gay couples casually holding hands as they strolled, and kissing each other goodbye at bus stops in the late spring sunshine, and it seemed to me that all was changed, changed utterly ...'
- From the Prologue, written three days after Ireland became the first country in the world to embrace marriage equality through popular vote

Woman in the Making is the unforgettable story of how a little boy from a small Irish village in the west grew up to become Panti Bliss, Queen of Ireland and voice of a brave new nation embracing equality, all the colours of the rainbow and, most of all, a glamorous attitude.

About Rory O'Neill

Rory O'Neill is Panti Bliss, Ireland's foremost 'gender discombobulist' and accidental activist.
Rory first began performing as his alter-ego Panti when he was an art student in the late '80s before moving to Tokyo and becoming a fixture on the club scene there.
Returning to Dublin in 1995, Panti ran some of Dublin's seminal club nights, hosted the legendary Alternative Miss Ireland for 18 years, and performed all over the world.
Panti has written and performed three critically acclaimed, hit theatre shows: In These Shoes, All Dolled Up and A Woman in Progress. In 2013, All Dolled Up: Restitched, a re-imagining of her three hit shows, had a sold out run at the Abbey Theatre and toured Australia. She is also the landlady of Pantibar.
Panti's creator Rory O'Neill is a champion of gay rights. Dressed with impeccable taste, done up to the nines, and wearing the best (synthetic!) wigs money can buy, he was synonymous with the campaign for equal marriage in Ireland - despite having no plans to wed. This is his first book.
