About this listen

One of Time Out's “LGBTQ+ books for kids to read during Pride Month,” this groundbreaking, pop-culture-infused
LGBTQ+ biography collection takes readers on an eye-opening journey
through the lives of fifty influential queer figures who have made a mark on
every century of human existence.


Rainbow
Revolutionaries
brings to life
the vibrant histories of fifty pioneering LGBTQ+ people from around the world.
Through Sarah Prager’s (Queer, There, and Everywhere) short, engaging
bios, readers can delve into the lives
of Wen of Han, a Chinese emperor who loved his boyfriend as much as his people,
Martine Rothblatt, a trans woman who’s helping engineer the robots of tomorrow,
and so many more!


This book is a
celebration of the many ways these heroes have made a difference and will
inspire young readers to make a difference, too. Featuring an introduction, timeline, and glossary, this must-have biography collection is the perfect
read during Pride month and all year round.

I enjoyed the book but I feel if reduced to 25 then the stories could be more in depth regarding each person and maybe then done over 2 books

A good starter book to introduce new people
