Before Stonewall: Activists for Gay and Lesbian Rights in Historical Context (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781560231936)

Before Stonewall: Activists for Gay and Lesbian Rights in Historical Context illuminates the lives of the courageous individuals involved in the early struggle for gay and lesbian civil rights in the United States. Authored by those who knew them (often activists themselves), the concise biographies in this comprehensive volume examine the lives of risk takers and trend setters like Harry Hay, Henry Gerber, Alfred Kinsey, Del Martin, Phyllis Lyon, Jim Kepner, Jack Nichols, Christine Jorgensen, Jose Sarria, Barbara Grier, Frank Kameny, and 40 more. No one interested in these heroic figures should be without this book, which received an honorable mention in the 2004 Stonewall Book Awards.
