NATIONAL BESTSELLER • STONEWALL BOOK AWARD IN NONFICTION FINALIST • LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FINALIST • PUBLISHING TRIANGLE BOOK AWARD FINALIST • MUSEUM OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY STONE BOOK AWARD FINALIST Praised as "a marvel" by Elliot Page and "a must-read" by Janet Mock, Black transgender luminary Tourmaline's definitive biography brings to life the revolutionary LGBTQIA+ activist Marsha P. Johnson "Thank god the revolution has begun, honey." Rumor has it that after Marsha P. Johnson threw the first brick in the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, she picked up a shard of broken mirror to fix her makeup. She was a legendary Black transgender activist, drag queen, fashion icon, and muse to countless artists from Andy Warhol to the band Earth, Wind & Fire-in all, Marsha embodied both the beauty and the struggle of the early gay rights movement. Written with sparkling prose, Tourmaline's Marsha shares the essential stories of the activist and artist. Marsha didn't wait to be freed; she declared herself free and told the world to catch up. Her story promises to inspire readers to live as their most liberated, unruly, vibrant, and whole selves.
Tourmaline is an award-winning author, artist, filmmaker, and activist whose work is dedicated to Black trans joy and freedom.
