Johnson threw the first brick in the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, she picked up a shard of broken mirror to fix her makeup. Marsha, 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. Until now. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten with sparkling prose, Tourmaline's richly researched biography \u003ci\u003eMarsha\u003c\/i\u003e finally brings this iconic figure to life, in full color. We vividly meet Marsha as both an activist and artist: She performed with RuPaul and with the internationally renowned drag troupe The Hot Peaches. She was a muse to countless artists from Andy Warhol to the band Earth, Wind \u0026amp; Fire. And she continues to inspire people today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarsha didn't wait to be freed; she declared herself free and told the world to catch up. Her story promises to inspire readers to live as their most liberated, unruly, vibrant, and whole selves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593185667\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 9 Inches, Length: 6 Inches, Weight: 1.17065461122 Pounds, Width: 0.8438 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tourmaline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53576166932787,"sku":"9780593185667","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/4846463482399.jpg?v=1782798822","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/marsha-the-joy-and-defiance-of-marsha-p-johnson","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
