Great concept. The execution was slightly less successful for me.

I know it was intentional, especially after listening to the authors guest spot on the Pod and Prejudice podcast, but each comic felt like it stopped abruptly and the end notes for each author didn't pick up and end the story.
Over all though I very much enjoyed it

Great concept but poor execution. Also out of 18 authors only 3 are not white.

Very cool stuff. The essays preceding the comics were wicked, I loved the intro essay and the comics’ art style. The colour of the cover doesn’t fit with the art style inside, though.
Writers I particularly enjoyed: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley; Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell; Mary Wollstonecraft; Frances E W Harper; Alice Dunbar Nelson; Edith Maude Eaton; Louisa May Alcott — and probably the one to most fascinate me in every regard, Anne Lister.
Note to self: it’s the Beatrix Potter/ Peter Rabbit art style in the childhood book of fables
Cool words: Ameliorate, garner, consumption

This book at it's core is "Empowered Women, Empower Women*.
This book takes an interesting look at what inspired different women to take up their own mantle and put their own thoughts and ideas out there.
And through the course of this book we see often it's the women who came before them, inspiring them to follow in their footsteps.
It's a poignant reminder that we to may someday be the person someone looks up too.
