jaycejude 's review for:
Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson
by Tourmaline
emotional
hopeful
informative
sad
medium-paced
Marsha by Tourmaline was a well written biography about the life and impact of Marsha P. (pay it no mind) Johnson. I really liked the way the chapters were broken down. I thought the conversation around disability and mental health were well explored in the Stonewall and Passing the Jordan River Chapters. My only problem with this book was perpetuation of the idea that Marsha threw the first brick at Stonewall and the decision to include her deadname which I am still undecided about my feels around.
