Η πατριαρχικη ιστορία και οι σθεναρά κολλημένοι πρεσβευτές της πολέμησαν το φεμινισμό. Με αστυνόμευση, με νόμους, με ψέμματα και δυσφημίσεις, με την αποκλειστική επιβολή της ανδρικής ματιά. Η κατάρρευση της όμως (θα) είναι πιο σημαντική.

Υπέροχο υλικό, φοβερή δουλειά με χιούμορ και γενναιότητα. Στοιχεία που ήταν και στο άλλο έργο των δημιουργών "Γυναίκες στη μάχη."

Το τελευταίο μέρος με την ανάδειξη του χειρότερου σεξιστή θα ήταν απίστευτα διασκεδαστικό αν δεν ήταν καθηλωτικά στενάχωρο. Αριστοτέλης for the win.

Μη περιμένετε το Μάρτιο. Διαβάστε όποτε το βρείτε. (τώρα.)

"Είναι δύσκολο να δεις το όριο που σου βάζουν, διότι είναι ένα ταβάνι φτιαγμένο από γυαλί, σχεδόν αόρατο. Χρειαζόμαστε λοιπόν περισσότερα πουλιά να πετάξουν από πάνω του και να το χέσουν ώστε να το βλέπουμε καλύτερα." Caitlin Moran

It reminds me of Liv Strömquist's graphic novels - in a very good way.
One simply can't read too much feminist literature!

Love this. A great intro to sexism, patriarchy and womens rights movement.

A quick, breezy introduction to feminist history! I really enjoyed how the artist illustrated various panels and ultimate kudos to the authors for making everything flow together into an easy-to-follow narrative. While I think it could have gone more into trans- and LGBTQ aspects of feminist history, especially in the section about women who dresses as men, I still think it provides a good starting point for people who are just being introduced to feminism and feminist history like young women.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

Thanks to NetGalley & Helvetiq for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.

A great introduction to feminism and the patriarchy! I like how it bobbed and weaved through history, giving us relevant historical figures from both sides with interesting quotes from each. The art style was really fun as well. An excellent addition to the non-fiction graphic novel collection!

Smash The Patriarchy is a short graphic novel that focuses on feminism and influential female figures in history. The illustrations were beautiful and the content was interesting. However, I did not find the book to be representative of feminism as a whole. I want to see diverse populations represented in the media I interact with and Smash The Patriarchy did not deliver on that end. Also, I was not impressed with the J.K. Rowling shout-out… very tone-deaf.
