| Summary Note |
"Throughout the ages, queer people have fought hard to express their identities and make a difference to society. We all know the queer community were the first to vogue, march in Pride parades and bring drag to the mainstream, but did you know that queer pioneers invented artificial intelligence, spearheaded the civil rights movement and journeyed into space? '50 queers who changed the world' introduces the boundary-busting, equality-loving LGBTQ+ heroes of history. From Harvey Milk to RuPaul, Audre Lorde, Oscar Wilde and Ellen DeGeneres, meet the queer and queer-minded stars of music, art, literature, film and TV, plus tough-ass academics, activists and sassy pop culture idols." - Back cover. |
