woman impersonating a man for a book

[NikkiB]

Does anyone know of the American woman who recently lived as a man for a few months in order to write about it in a book? She had lessons on male deportment and had prosthetics and make up to be more convicing. She came out of it with surprising revelations and even dated a few unsuspecting women. I think in the end she needed sessions with a shrink!
