challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring fast-paced

3.5

I think this is a good resource for anyone who knows little to nothing about LGBTQI+ historical figures. The nature of this kind of book is that there are so many figures left out, but hopefully that sparks people's interest in seeking out more information. For example, I find it astounding that Silvia Rivera has a whole chapter, but not Miss Major, Stormé Delaverie, or Marsha P. Johnson. Nevertheless, the author was clearly moving through the eras quite quickly, and it wasn't her project to focus so much on Stonewall, I suppose.
