Dianna Boileau was a Canadian transgender woman, and among the first Canadians to undergo gender-affirming surgery. Boileau began living as a woman in her late teens. She first came to public attention after her involvement in a fatal 1962 car accident which resulted in sensational press coverage outing her as an ostensible cross-dresser. She then anonymously returned to the public eye in 1970 when she underwent gender-affirming surgery. In 1972, she published a memoir, Behold, I Am a Woman, and lived the remainder of her life in private.
