Sylvia and Marsha start a revolution! : the story of the trans women of color who made LGBTQ+ history

Ellison, Joy Michael (author.). Silver, Teshika, (author,, illustrator.).

Summary: ""Someday girls like us will be able to wear whatever we want. People will call us by the names we choose. They'll respect that we are women. The cops will leave us alone and no one will go hungry." Sylvia and Marsha are closer than sisters. They are kind and brave and not afraid to speak their truth, even when it makes other people angry.

It introduces children to issues surrounding gender identity and diversity, accompanied by a reading guide and teaching materials to further the conversation"--
