註釋For Zoe is an anthology created by members of the LGBTQIA+ communityto celebrate the life and work of English actress Leah Bracknell.In 1989 Leah joined the cast of ITV's Emmerdale as Veterinary student Zoe Tate. In 1993, in a ground-breaking episode, Zoe came out as a lesbian. She remained on the show, battling severe homophobia, forging and maintaining relationships, celebrating a civil partnership, and battling mental health issues, until her departure in 2005, making her not only the first character to "come out" on British television, but the first lesbian in a British soap opera, and the longest running lesbian in television history.The creation and portrayal of Zoe Tate changed the course of history for LGBTQIA characters on British television.In October 2016, Leah Bracknell announced that she had been diagnosed with stage 4 terminal lung cancer. She was 52 years old.Leah is still fighting.What she did for the LGBTQIA+ community, and for our positive visibility was unmatchable, and to thank her on behalf of our community, this anthology is dedicated to her.All of the proceeds from this book will go to The Macmillan Cancer Support Charity.
