The Gay Revolution: The Story of the Struggle by Lillian Faderman

5.0

Compellingly clear and thoroughly readable. It's organized by "struggle", with the stories of movement heroes interwoven. I learned what precipitated the Stonewall Inn actions and Edith Windsor's backstory. I had been a little intimidated by the length, but it's "only" 635 pages, with the rest being notes. A bracing ode to civil rights fighters.
