| Summary |
"A lively, intimate memoir from an icon of the gay rights movement, describing gay life in 1950s and '60s New York City and her longtime activism, which opened the door for marriage equality. Edie Windsor became internationally famous when she sued the US government, seeking federal recognition for her marriage to Thea Spyer, her partner of more than four decades. The Supreme Court ruled in Edie's favor, a landmark victory that set the stage for full marriage equality in the US. Beloved by the LGBTQ community, Edie embraced her new role as an icon; she had already been living an extraordinary and groundbreaking life for decades."-- Provided by publisher. |
