A nostalgic collection on rural schools, childhood and English country life from the much-loved author of VILLAGE SCHOOL.From organising the school summer fete...''Because of our inability to recognise our climatic shortcomings from the outset, arrangements for outdoor jollities get completely out of hand''....to the sometimes rather odd passions of childhood:''I collect stones with holes in them''.Miss Read captures the essence of rural life, and in particular of village schools, as only she can. This collection also includes extracts from her letters:''Michael Joseph wrote after the Observer thing and is throwing out feelers for a book. I shall know if he still feels like it - me too! - after we''ve met''.It will also include an Introduction on how ''Miss Read'' was first created: ''Miss Read was born fully clothed in sensible garments and aged about forty. She was born, in fact, when I was struggling to write my first book and needed a village schoolmistress as the narrator.''

She has shared tips with other sex workers in the nascent drag ball scene of the late 1960s, and helped found one of America’s first needle exchange clinics from the back of her van.Miss Major Speaks is both document of her brilliant life–told with intimacy, warmth and an undeniable levity-and a roadmap for the challenges black, brown, queer and trans youth will face on the path to liberation today.Her incredible story of a life lived and a world survived becomes a conduit for larger questions about the riddle of collective liberation. For a younger generation, she warns about the traps of ‘representation,’ the politics of ''self-care,'' and the frequent dead-ends of non-profit organizing; for all of us, she is a strike against those who would erase these histories of struggle.Miss Major offers something that cannot be found elsewhere: an ...
