"Illuminating." --The Washington Blade
"Seligman spares his readers none of the horrors of AIDS... And
rightly so, for it's wrong to only remember the glamour of drag
queens past--and not the deaths that have made them something we
can only remember in the first place." --The Baffler
"What Who Does That Bitch Think She Is? ultimately does is remind
queers, and young drag artists especially, that they have a
cultural lineage. Years before RuPaul dared put a drag competition
on television, Fish dared be a queen of all media."--Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle
"A life well worth examining....confidently written, wistful and
quite personal....had me scrawling exclamation points in the
margins."--Alexandra Jacobs, the New York Times
"[A] fantastic, immersive history of drag... mandatory reading for
drag fans and queens of a certain age."--EDGE Media Network
"A perceptive portrait of [a] fascinating person... This honest and
compassionate depiction of someone who was true to their passions
will inspire readers."--Library Journal
"A wonderfully constructed portrait of not only an important player
in queer and drag history, but a document of an era that allowed
for a more radical--anti-capitalist, anti-assimilationist,
pro-freak--way of living for queer artists. This book filled me
with longing and excitement, for both a lost past and the wild
possibilities of our future."--Michelle Tea, author of Knocking
Myself Up and Against Memoir
"An entertaining look at the life of drag entertainer Doris Fish...
who inadvertently shaped the fight for queer liberation. Campy,
fabulous, and informative, Who Does That Bitch Think She Is? is
more necessary than ever."--Buzzfeed
"An intimate feel to a lively read. Drag culture and camp humor hit
it big..."--Kirkus
"This smart, funny, and sexy queer history is a smash."--Publishers
Weekly
