Gender Pioneers: A Celebration of Transgender, Non-Binary and Intersex Icons by Philippa Punchard

informative inspiring fast-paced

5.0

 lovely book, showing us that history was more diverse than we tend to give it credit for. I loved learning about all these people, and the variable people showcased. I also loved the fact that they came with pictures, really allowing to imagine what their lives might have been like (and providing some goals to look like..). I was pleasantly surprised said pictures showed up quite well on my black and white ereader, too.
For me, it felt weirdly liberating and encouraging to look at those who came before, and I think that is important.
The only qualm I have, is that the text sometimes was a bit crude in its wording. I understand that this was to keep it short, when entire novels could be written about these people, but it still irked me from time to time.
