But Rosemary was more than a mere accessory. She was a beatnik, a psychonaut and a true believer who tested the limits of her mind and the expectations for women of her time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLong overlooked by those who have venerated her husband, Rosemary spent her life on the forefront of the counterculture, working with Leary on his books and speeches, sewing his clothing and shaping - for better and for worse - the media's narrative about LSD. Ultimately, Rosemary sacrificed everything for the safety of her fellow psychedelic pioneers and the preservation of her husband's legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing from a wealth of interviews, diaries, archives and unpublished sources, Susannah Cahalan writes the definitive portrait of Rosemary Woodruff Leary, reclaiming her narrative and her voice from those who dismissed her. Page-turning, revelatory and utterly compelling, \u003ci\u003eThe Acid Queen \u003c\/i\u003eshines an overdue spotlight on a pioneering psychedelic seeker.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canongate Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54410030219608,"sku":"9781838857424","price":27.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781838857424.jpg?v=1770517845","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/acid-queen","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
