"She's another Eleanor Roosevelt. You've got to meet her."--Sam From
This evocative biography, written in verse coupled with sidebars and historical photographs, tells the story of Evelyn Hooker, the extraordinary woman behind the research, advocacy, and allyship that led to the removal of the "Homosexuality" diagnosis from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. A pioneering psychologist, Hooker was also a poet herself and a towering figure in LGBTQ+ rights. Written by Stonewall award-winning author Gayle Pitman, Hooker's groundbreaking work is captured like never before At the end of the book, a "Note to Readers" provides information about how to be an effective ally to LGBTQ+ people, people of color, people with disabilities, or anyone who's part of a marginalized community.
