The Big Feminist But
The Big Feminist But: Comics about Women, Men and the Ifs, Ands & Buts of Feminism | Shannon O'Leary
2 posts | 5 read
"What do we really mean when we start a sentence with the disclaimers, 'I am not a feminst BUT...' or 'I am 100% a feminist BUT...'? What do our great big 'BUTS...' say about where things stand between the sexes in the 21st century? We asked some of the most talented ladies (and gentlemen) working in comics and animation today, along with some of the smartest writers we know, to 'but' into the heated discussion about the much more level but still contradictory playing field both sexes are struggling to find their footing on today"--Publisher description.

Mehso-so

I wanted to like this book, but mostly I found it to be boring and pedantic with too much of a focus on issues of marriage and motherhood — and all told from a white perspective. It‘s nice that men were included and there was one Asian story and some LGBTQ ones, but that was it. The art wasn‘t that great or interesting— of 200 pages, the two pictures in this collage are the only ones I really liked. They take this book from a pan to a meh for me.
