Edie Windsor and Thea Spyer had been together as a couple, in sickness and in health, for more than forty years, enduring society's homophobia as well as Spyer's near total paralysis from multiple sclerosis. Although the couple was finally able to marry, when Spyer died the federal government refused to recognize their marriage, forcing Windsor to pay a huge estate tax bill. Kaplan shares the behind-the-scenes highs and lows, the excitement and the worries, and provides intriguing insights into her historic argument before the Supreme Court.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 346.0168 Ka Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 346.0168 Kaplan Checked In Add Copy to MyList
