"A joyful and fascinating read that reminds us that LGBTQ+ people have always existed, thrived, and made important contributions to society." -Michael D. Cohen, actor, writer, director, and acting coach"History" sounds really official. Like it's all fact. Like it's definitely what happened. But that's not necessarily true. History was crafted by the people who recorded it. And sometimes, those historians were biased against, didn't see, or couldn't even imagine anyone different from themselves.

"A joyful and fascinating read that reminds us that LGBTQ+ people have always existed, thrived, and made important contributions to society." -Michael D. Cohen, actor, writer, director, and acting coach
"History" sounds really official. Like it's all fact. Like it's definitely what happened. But that's not necessarily true. History was crafted by the people who recorded it. And sometimes, those historians were biased against, didn't see, or couldn't even imagine anyone different from themselves. That means that history has often left out the stories of LGBTQIA+ people: men who loved men, women who loved women, people who loved without regard to gender, and people who lived outside gender boundaries. Historians have even censored the lives and loves of some of the world's most famous people, from William Shakespeare and Pharaoh Hatshepsut to Cary Grant and Eleanor Roosevelt. Join author Lee Wind for this fascinating journey through primary sources-poetry, memoir, news clippings, and images of ancient artwork-to explore the hidden (and often surprising) Queer lives and loves of two dozen historical figures.
"Such an important book, both enlightening and entertaining. Highly recommended for readers age 10-110!" -Linda Sue Park, Newbery Medalist
"This fascinating look at the hidden lives of some of history's most important figures deserves a place in every library, not to mention the hands of readers, many of whom will see much needed reflections of themselves." -Ellen Hopkins, New York Times-bestselling author
"At a time where issues of social justice are often deemed either overinflated or 'solved,' Lee Wind makes a powerful case that queer historical erasure is an ongoing issue." ¿Foreword Reviews
