Samantha Dorsett Tribute

Samantha Dorsett Tribute

Samantha Dorsett was an intelligent and kindhearted woman who passed away in the summer of 2009. This is a tribute to her by her friends. It's a compilation of art and writings about their lives with her. Samantha was transgendered, and suffered from depression and being a brilliant, critical thinker in a world where this kind of intelligence is only repeatedly punished. But that's an over-simplification. In the words of Shari and Dan Herman, she was a beautiful and courageous transwoman, artist, writer, lady detective, anarchist, punk, sweet animal friend, fighter for peace and justice, dancer, lover, chess player, secret sailor, feminist, soup chef, lover of rabbits, queenie, puppeteer, beloved friend and ally, math whiz, radical, passionate, and so much more. In this zine, her friends celebrate her life and attempt to come to terms with the death of this beloved and influential figure from the small town of Mitchell, Indiana.
