Full disclosure: I received this book in conjunction
with a meet-the-author event at Andrea Swenson’s amazing school
library. And I’m so glad I did because I think every school librarian
serving high school students will want a copy of Prager’s chatty collective
biography of queer history on their shelves. Brief as they are, her
twenty-two biographical chapters on twenty-three historical figures are
intriguing and leave the reader wanting to know more. Through the brief lives examined, the casual
reader will start to grasp the bigger outlines of queer histories.
Prager’s considered and inclusive stance will aid younger readers in
exploring multiple perspectives in a world wracked with adversarial and
exclusionary politics.--Jessica Fenster-Sparber
