Rainbow History Class: Your Guide Through Queer and Trans History by Hannah McElhinney

dark reflective fast-paced

5.0

This book by Hannah McElhinney also known on TikTok as Rainbow History Class is a quick and concise history of queer facts and infamous and famous people and moments in history starting back in 371 BCE. McElhinney has done a lot of research into each fact, figure and moment presented throughout her book. 

I was looking to find myself a queer terms and history 101, this book mainly provided the history up until now and it was incredible. If you’re wanting to improve your historical knowledge this book is it! McElhinney provides insights into “Know Your Icon” at relevant moments in time and looks at snippets of history around the world as best as possible in a short 207 page book. 

To cut a story short - this book is great and you should read it too.
