It's not really explored, but it is shown, Bertrand Russells attitudes towards women, mainly through his relationship with his wives. He may never have touched upon it, but the interludes with the artists didn't delve into that; a famous logician talking about using logic in human affairs not really broaching the subject of women's suffrage. Similarly, his position and attitudes towards Jewish people was left only briefly hinted at with his recollection on Frege's frothing at the mouth. I think this comic maybe could have explored the ideal he [Bertrand] was advocating, and many great intellects such as himself fell short of the mark. But maybe that's too much scope for one graphic novel; this focused on the development of logic and was shy of 400 pages. The interludes with the makers of the comic was enjoyable, a good way to show different opinions of the man, the subject, the history.
