Pride and Persistence: Stories of Queer Activism

“Breen offers young readers a glimpse into the lives of 14 amazing women and non-binary people who have helped make the world safer for kids and adults who identify as LGBTQ…. It includes a useful historical timeline of LGBTQ activism in both Canada and the U.S as well as an excellent glossary.”

The Globe and Mail

"Breen’s passionate advocacy for equal rights of all people regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity is a bold foray into the culture wars of today... The book addresses real issues of discrimination and of acceptance, both of oneself and of others.... I urge librarians to give this book careful consideration." 

Canadian Review of Materials

"This volume offers important representation and engaging profiles of people who just might motivate readers to make their own significant contributions, no matter the scale or scope."
