Thank you for supporting the Bureau by purchasing books from us!\n \nABOUT WHO DOES THAT BITCH THINK SHE IS?\nIn the 1970s\, gay men and lesbian women were openly despised\, and drag queens scared the public. Yet that 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 welcomes and even celebrates queer people. How did we get from there to here? In Who Does That Bitch Think She Is? Craig Seligman looks at Doris’s short but overstuffed life as a way to provide some answers.\n \nSeligman recounts this dynamic period in queer history—from Stonewall to AIDS—providing insight into how our ideas about gender have broadened to make drag the phenomenon we know it as today. In a book filled with interviews and letters about a life that ricocheted between humor and tragedy\, he revisits the places and people Doris knew in order to shed light on the multihued era that his remarkable life encapsulated.\n \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nCraig Seligman has written for and edited a host of magazines\, journals\, newspapers\, and websites. He is the author of “Sontag and Kael: Opposites Attract Me” (Counterpoint LLC\, 2004). Craig resides in Brooklyn.\n \nABOUT LIZ BROWN\nLiz Brown is the author of “Twilight Man: Love and Ruin in the Shadows of Hollywood and the Clark Empire.” Her writing has appeared in Bookforum\, London Review of Books\, Los Angeles Times\, New York Times Book Review\, Slate\, and elsewhere.\n
