Evelyn Hooker and the Fairy Project
From the Series Extraordinary Women in Psychology
“She’s another Eleanor Roosevelt. You’ve got to meet her.”—Sam From
This evocative biography tells the story of Evelyn Hooker, the extraordinary woman behind the research, advocacy, and allyship that led to the removal of the “Homosexuality” diagnosis from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. A pioneering psychologist, Hooker was also a poet herself and a towering figure in LGBTQ+ rights. Written by Stonewall award-winning author Gayle Pitman, Hooker’s groundbreaking work is captured like never before. At the end of the book, a Note to Readers provides information about how to be an effective ally to LGBTQ+ people; also included are a timeline, discussion questions, reading list, and additional resources, written by Sarah Prager.
