Summary
With contributions from prominent scholars in the field, this set chronicles the events and the people who have defined the GLBT experience since the mid-nineteenth century. Most of the essays were originally commissioned by Salem for inclusion in the EBSCO database GLBT Life with Full Text. New essays, primary source documents, and illustrations have been added for the printed work. The well-organized volumes include over 283 chronologically arranged essays, all between 2 and 3 pages in length, supplemented with 136 sidebars that add to a reader's understanding of the essay topics. Essays begin with a 1-sentence summary and list location, subject categories, and key figures, followed by a summary of the event and its significance. The first entry is Seneca Falls Women's Rights Convention, in July 1848; the final one is Brokeback Mountain, Capote, and Transamerica receive Oscars, in March 2006. The arts receive extensive coverage (for example, the 1929 opening of the Louise Brooks film Pandora's Box, the first film representation of a lesbian character) alongside political and civil rights events (such as the 1895 trial of Oscar Wilde and the 2005 legalization of same-gender marriage in Canada). All of the essays include a list of further reading and see also references. The essays are preceded by Keyword List of Contents and a list of sidebars. The back matter consists of a bibliography, a list of Web sites, GLBT events listed by decade and subject category, a personage index, and a subject index
