The history recovered here is remarkable and illuminating, including the life of Hannah Nokes, a Black transgender woman who overcame severe discrimination in Loudoun County during the 1930s; the story of the Hershee Bar, a historic lesbian bar in Norfolk and longtime community focal point; efforts to gather oral histories and produce a queer digital archive in the old capital of the Confederacy, and much more. Full of poignant and telling glimpses of LGBTQ+ life through the decades, this volume reveals generations of widespread prejudice and oppressive laws and the inspiring resilience that queer Virginians brought to this struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52180251803936,"sku":"NEW0813953278","price":24.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91TUZRHBk6L.jpg?v=1786542337","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/queer-virginia-new-stories-in-the-old-dominion-0813953278","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
