Summary
One of Time Out's “LGBTQ+ books for kids to read during Pride Month”, this groundbreaking, pop-culture-infused LGBTQ+ biography collection takes listeners on an eye-opening journey through the lives of 50 influential queer figures who have made a mark on every century of human existence.
Rainbow Revolutionaries brings to life the vibrant histories of 50 pioneering LGBTQ+ people from around the world. Through Sarah Prager's (Queer, There, and Everywhere) short, engaging bios, listeners 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!

A good starter book to introduce new people
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
