Yet this was the era when Doris Fish (born Philip Mills in 1952) painted and padded his way to stardom. He was a leader of the generation that prepared the world not just for drag queens on TV but for a society that is more tolerant and accepting of LGBTQ+ people. How did we get from there to here? In \u003ci\u003eWho Does That Bitch Think She Is?\u003c\/i\u003e Craig Seligman looks at Doris' life to provide some answers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After moving to San Francisco in the mid-'70s, Doris became the driving force behind years of sidesplitting drag shows that were loved as much as you can love throwaway trash--which is what everybody thought they were. No one, Doris included, perceived them as political theater, when in fact they were accomplishing satire's deepest dream: not just to rail against society, but to change it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From the rise of drag shows to the obsession with camp to the conservative backlash and the onset of AIDS, Seligman adds needed color and insight to this era in LGBTQ+ history, revealing the origins and evolution of drag.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Craig Seligman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541702166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541702165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PublicAffairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.44h x 6.33w x 1.24d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2023 pg. 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/17\/2023","brand":"Craig Seligman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071632830719,"sku":"9781541702165","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ffdc245-c687-4bc0-b357-ba505b8fc48a.jpg?v=1685437260","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/who-does-that-bitch-think-craig-seligman-9781541702165","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
