For May, we will read Marsha, by Tourmaline. Marsha P. Johnson, a legendary Black transgender activist, embodied both the beauty and the struggle of the early gay rights movement. Her work sparked the progress we see today, yet there has never been a definitive record of her life鈥攗ntil now. Tourmaline鈥檚 biography finally brings this iconic figure to life. We vividly meet Marsha as both an activist and artist. Marsha’s story promises to inspire readers to live as their most liberated, unruly, vibrant, and whole selves.
