Who does that bitch think she is? : Doris Fish and the rise of drag

Seligman, Craig (author.).

Summary: "In the 1970s, queer people were openly despised and drag queens scared the public; this was also the era when Doris Fish (born Philip Mills in 1952 in Australia) rose to drag queen stardom. He was a leader of the generation that prepared the world not just for drag queens on TV but for a society that is more tolerant and accepting of LGBTQ+ people. How did we get from there to here? Craig Seligman looks at Doris's life as a way to provide some answers while recounting this vivid era in LGBTQ+ history, giving needed insight to how drag has become the performance phenomenon we know today"--
