Abby Stein grew up in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in New York City, one of the most gender segregated societies in the world. Abby’s parents considered her their firstborn son but she was adamant that she was a girl. She has written a book about her experiences called ‘Becoming Eve.’ Presenter: Jo Fidgen Producer: Alice Gioia Picture: Abby Stein Credit: Courtesy of Abby Stein
