pickThis was a random stumble upon in the library book.
Overall it was a good book. Some chapters I didn't feel had much a feminist view to them though.
While it was written in French and translated, it fits for the most part in the US.

pickInteresting collection of comics that range from discussions on race, xenophobia, maternity leave, universal wages, police brutality and of course, the mental load.
pickHave you ever read a book that was only okay, but for what it was, it‘s good? That‘s how I feel about this one... I was hoping for more depth to the topics, but a compilation of comics might not be the best format for the depth I was wanting. Still, the information is well presented and digestible. This weekend was made better by the taste testing day we had, which hosted a few recommendations made by @Jilly6183
pickI‘m saying this is a pick, but it‘s far from perfect. I really enjoyed the French perspective on these various topics. I also think the author did a nice job of breaking down the topics as well. I consider this more of a collection of illustrated essays rather than a graphic novel or comic (despite the title) and thought the translation was a bit clunky in spots. But definitely read it.
pickA very good feminist comic examining some of the worst aspects of our society's dismissiveness towards and lack of equality for women. Things are still far from fair. The inequality runs deep, but the only path to correction is being cognizant of the problem.
pickGreat book but I wish the chapters were a lot longer. I was interested until the very last page. I am looking forward to more work by her. 5 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽😉

pickThis is a #womenintranslation that also goes in my #readharder2019 challenge.
I liked this and could see a teenager getting a lot out of how this is presented. If you read a lot of feminist books maybe not too much new in here but I found it particularly interesting for giving me info about feminism in France.
For Francophiles who think it‘s a perfect place this will be a strong kick back to reality.
