She has shared tips with other sex workers in the nascent drag ball scene of the late 1960s, and helped found one of America'      s first needle exchange clinics from the back of her van. Miss Major Speaks is both document of her brilliant lif  -    told with intimacy, warmth and an undeniable levity-and a roadmap for the challenges black, brown, queer and trans youth will face on the path to liberation today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"FONT-SIZE- 11px; FONT-FAMILY- Poppins, sans-serif; WHITE-SPACE- normal; WORD-SPACING- 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM- none; FONT-WEIGHT- 400; COLOR- rgb(0,0,0); FONT-STYLE- normal; ORPHANS- 2; WIDOWS- 2; LETTER-SPACING- normal; TEXT-INDENT- 0px; font-variant-ligatures- normal; font-variant-caps- normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width- 0px; text-decoration-thickness- initial; text-decoration-style- initial; text-decoration-color- initial\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"FONT-SIZE- 11px; FONT-FAMILY- Poppins, sans-serif; WHITE-SPACE- normal; WORD-SPACING- 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM- none; FONT-WEIGHT- 400; COLOR- rgb(0,0,0); FONT-STYLE- normal; ORPHANS- 2; WIDOWS- 2; LETTER-SPACING- normal; TEXT-INDENT- 0px; font-variant-ligatures- normal; font-variant-caps- normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width- 0px; text-decoration-thickness- initial; text-decoration-style- initial; text-decoration-color- initial\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"FONT-SIZE- 11px; FONT-FAMILY- Poppins, sans-serif; WHITE-SPACE- normal; WORD-SPACING- 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM- none; FLOAT- none; FONT-WEIGHT- 400; COLOR- rgb(0,0,0); FONT-STYLE- normal; ORPHANS- 2; WIDOWS- 2; DISPLAY- inline !important; LETTER-SPACING- normal; TEXT-INDENT- 0px; font-variant-ligatures- normal; font-variant-caps- normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width- 0px; text-decoration-thickness- initial; text-decoration-style- initial; text-decoration-color- initial\"\u003eHer incredible story of a life lived and a world survived becomes a conduit for larger questions about the riddle of collective liberation. For a younger generation, she warns about the traps of       representation'       the politics of 'self-care,' and the frequent dead-ends of non-profit organizing; for all of us, she is a strike against those who would erase these histories of struggle.       Miss Major offers something that cannot be found elsewhere- an affirmation that our vision for freedom can and must be more expansive than those on offer by mainstream institutions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"FONT-SIZE- 11px; FONT-FAMILY- Poppins, sans-serif; WHITE-SPACE- normal; WORD-SPACING- 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM- none; FLOAT- none; FONT-WEIGHT- 400; COLOR- rgb(0,0,0); FONT-STYLE- normal; ORPHANS- 2; WIDOWS- 2; DISPLAY- inline !important; LETTER-SPACING- normal; TEXT-INDENT- 0px; font-variant-ligatures- normal; font-variant-caps- normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width- 0px; text-decoration-thickness- initial; text-decoration-style- initial; text-decoration-color- initial\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46631840972958,"sku":"UBD-9781839763342","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781839763342.jpg?v=1774309942","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781839763342","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
