What Makes Girls Sick and Tired
What Makes Girls Sick and Tired | Lucile de Peslouan
4 posts | 8 read | 11 to read
A feminist manifesto in graphic novel form that denounces the discrimination against and unfairness felt by women from childhood to adulthood. Illustrated in a strikingly minimalist style with images of girls with varied body types and personalities, invites teenagers to question the sexism that surrounds us, in ways that are obvious and hidden, simple and complex. The book's beginnings as a fanzine shine through in its honesty and directness, confronting the inequalities faced by young women, everyday. And it ends with a line of hope, that with solidarity, girls will hurt less, as they hold each other up with support and encouragement.

A short, succinct feminist manifesto for teens and young girls. The aesthetic is that of a zine; lots of vivid graphics and minimal text. While the information is pretty basic for older feminists, this is perhaps more of a consciousness-raising text. Maybe young girls who have felt and experienced these things but who don't have the conceptual frameworks or words to articulate their experiences will find this a useful starting point. #netgalley

A great short read that shows the disparities and issues women deal with on a daily basis. It's also very inclusive of intersectional women and what they deal with. Really great!

I'm conflicted. I appreciated this one, but I feel most people who would pick it up already feel/know its topics. The author and illustrator note their bias as privileged, white women, and do their best to include diverse representations. However, there are gaps in the representations of disabled women, plus-size women, and women‘s experiences in the medical communities. Good first steps, but needs to push boundaries further than it did.
