More people need to be made aware of this book. It is an absolute delight for readers (at least for me) who adore fashion. It is an excellent way to bring light, awareness, and appreciation for Black fashion designers who have made impacts.

This is a nice overview of the lives and motivations of a selection of women writers from the 18th to early 20th centuries... and not just the ones you'd expect, either. Most readers will probably encounter at least a couple of names they haven't heard before. The reader grasps how incredibly easy it has been throughout history for women's creative works to be ignored, dismissed, or minimized. It's thought-provoking to consider that the catalog presented here is really only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to women who write.

The book is part text and part graphic story, with each graphic depicting an author at a potential turning point in her life. I felt that the graphic stories would have benefited by some annotations (like those Sydney Padua made use of in The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage). There were multiple places where I could tell something interesting was being referenced in the artwork, but felt blind to its significance because I couldn't stitch together what it meant.

Although I wanted that little bit of extra explanation, I did enjoy the book for the lively way it presented these women, and the emphasis on their reasons for writing. It made them feel very human and real, as opposed to distant, legendary, buttoned up figures.

Thanks to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for this advance review copy.

This is a great book. I have so many of these biography anthology comic books about women now. Each one is great in their own way. I think I liked this one better because it's more about writers and books and my subject matter. This one seemed more organized too. It focuses only on women writers during the 19th century (she mentions why in the introduction). I feel like they could do more of these comics, but at the same time I'm happy. I really enjoyed the fact this was well researched, with a bibliography, and the art is really good too.… (més)
