History often remembers its outlaws, its murderers, and its tragic figures, but it rarely asks - what could have been different?

Born in Italy in 1875 and later making his way to Australia, Eugenia lived as Harry Leo Crawford, a transgender man navigating a world that had no language, no acceptance, and no space for the truth of his identity.
