emilyinherhead 's review for:

The Stonewall Reader by The New York Public Library
5.0

4.5 stars.

Despite having long been interested in gender and sexuality, I know embarrassingly little about the beginnings of the movements for LGBTQ+ rights. So I am incredibly grateful for this collection of first-person accounts from the periods leading up to, during, and right after the Stonewall uprising. These voices are what we need more of in our traditional history books.
