Johnson","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBlack transgender luminary Tourmaline brings to life the first definitive biography of the revolutionary activist Marsha P. Johnson, one of the most important and remarkable figures in LGBTQIA+ history, revealing her story, her impact, and her legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Thank god the revolution has begun, honey.” Rumor has it that after Marsha P. 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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten with sparkling prose, Tourmaline’s richly researched biography Marsha 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e[[[About the Author]]]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-right: 6px; margin-bottom: 3px; margin-left: 6px; float: left;\" src=\"https:\/\/images3.penguinrandomhouse.com\/author\/2249619\" alt=\"Author photo of Tourmaline\" width=\"171\" height=\"257\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTourmaline is an award-winning artist, filmmaker, writer, and activist whose work is dedicated to Black trans joy and freedom.
