Yet this was the era when Doris Fish (born Philip Mills in 1952) painted and padded his way to stardom. He was a leader of the generation that prepared the world not just for drag queens on TV but for a society that is more tolerant and accepting of LGBTQ+ people. How did we get from there to here? In \u003ci\u003eWho Does That Bitch Think She Is?\u003c\/i\u003e Craig Seligman looks at Doris' life to provide some answers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter moving to San Francisco in the mid-'70s, Doris became the driving force behind years of side-splitting drag shows that were loved as much as you can love throwaway trash-which is what everybody thought they were. No one, Doris included, perceived them as political theatre, when in fact they were accomplishing satire's deepest dream: not just to rail against society, but to change it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the rise of drag shows to the obsession with camp to the conservative backlash and the onset of AIDS, Seligman adds needed colour and insight to this era in LGBTQ+ history, revealing the origins and evolution of drag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40787116916833,"sku":"9781541702165","price":20.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28435857.jpg?v=1722590904","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781541702165-who-does-that-bitch-think-she-is","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
