Biography

Deborah Marie “Debby” Hartin (September 15, 1933 – March 15, 2005) was an American lecturer and activist. Her 1970 divorce following a gender transition made national headlines, and she went on to appear on numerous talk shows. Hartin was selected by the second The Book of Lists (1983) as one of ten prominent transexuals (the terms transgender and trans woman not being in wide use during the 1980s) and she was featured in the 1978 documentary Let Me Die a Woman.
