Baby‘s first graphic novel (is it still a graphic novel if it‘s nonfiction?)
pick5 stars!! This was amazing. I finished it yesterday in two sittings although I would've read it in one if I'd had the time. The author exhibits tremendous journalism skills in this illustrated cultural history of the taboo surrounding women's bodies, specifically the vulva (or fear of!) and menstruation, and female sexuality, clearly shedding light on how far we have NOT come. Feminist, unapologetic and funny as f***!
I started reading this graphic cultural history of the vulva vs. the patriarchy about 2 hours ago and I can't put it down! Informative and laugh-out-loud funny. Remember ladies, listen to John Kellogg and don't "self-pollute"!!
I haven't been in the habit of reading graphic novels before but a few have been catching my eye lately, especially Liv Strömquist's "Fruit of Knowledge: The Vulva vs. The Patriarchy”. Here's a conversation with the author, by Electric Lit, where she talks about dismantling the shame that surrounds menstruation. Added to the TBR!

pickFinally took time to finish this gem of a graphic novel in hour 17 of my #24b42019 #readathon. This should be a mandatory read in every high school!
It‘s not suitable for even one time use. Ouch! Gross!
I spent way to long trying to decide between the “creamy” or the “bleached” filter for this pic🤔.

pickMostly I'm impressed I got through a book in French. It definitely helped that it had pictures, a nd was a powerful argument about how women have been short-changed esp in medical history.
