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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.","brand":"Tiny Reparations Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51669740814626,"sku":"9780593185667","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/8637\/3154\/files\/imageloader_077f729a-795b-482e-a03e-60d2cb5dffc0.jpg?v=1779711614","url":"https:\/\/godmothers.com\/products\/marsha-the-joy-and-defiance-of-marsha-p-johnson","provider":"Godmothers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
