The No-Nonsense Guide to Sexual Diversity

I found this to be a really fun book that "broke it down" quick. From ancient history of the Indian hijas to Oscar Wilde to 19th century Chinese vegetarian sisterhoods. So cool how it doesn't ignore any of the letters in lgbt! Summarized descriptions from ancient to modern persecution in most world cultures. Since they don't teach this history in schools it's a great way to come up to speed. Also I can't emphasize more how fun this book is to read. It's a very enjoyable way to learn the basic history and struggle of queer people worldwide.

I was suggested this book for a study abroad program on gender and sexuality. This book gives a quick overview of the history of sexual diversit. The great thing about this book is that it tries to cover as much of the world's cultures throughout history and takes into consideration different cultral views. If you are wanting to start understanding gender and diversity pick this book up!
