How To Survive A Plague
This is a very detailed book about the history of ACTUP. If you liked And the Band Played On, you would probably like this book. There is also a documentary that goes along with the book.
Becoming Nicole
This is the story of a trans girl who started transition in elementary school and the problems she and her family faced. Eventually she won a major lawsuit that affects how trans kids are treated in schools.
Banished
The Westboro Baptist Church is famous for its anti-gay protesting. This is a story from a person who was on the inside and then kicked out about how she learned to move past the hate she had been taught. Â
These are books about current events written in whole or in part by queer women. Â
Thanks for the recommendations! Banished is on my TBR list.
