A young woman in Renaissance Italy is bethroted to a young man she doesn't know. She receives a family heirloom, the skin of a man (not as creepy as it sounds), which she can wear so she can move around the world as a man, undisturbed. She chooses to use this to know the person she will marry.
The story is fantastic and weaves a lot of topics into the plot in a poignant way. I enjoyed this book in one sitting, but I will certainly be re-reading it many times!

Complicated depiction of gender and what it means to be a man vs a woman. Hints of transgender themes without featuring any explicit trans or gender non-conforming characters. Elite, light skinned woman dons the skin of a more tanned man. Details on how the skin was acquired, if the skin was from a once living man, etc. is never expanded upon besides the fact that it has been passed down through this wealthy family through generations as if it were an artifact... so read that as you will.

4.0

 Dans une ville inspirée de la Renaissance italienne, Bianca est une jeune femme de bonne famille destinée à un prochain mariage avec un homme qu'elle n'a jamais rencontrée. Les femmes de sa famille ont toutes des conseils ou des remarques à lui apporter, et en particulier sa marraine, qui lui révèle un secret : une peau d'homme que Bianca peut revêtir pour explorer le monde sous le couvert du genre masculin...

Cette bande dessinée furieusement féministe et queer se dévore rapidement mais reste en tête longtemps après. Son trait épuré laisse place à toute la palette de sentiments que Bianca éprouve en découvrant l'intimité et en s'appropriant son (ses) corps.

Rep : personnage principal queer, personnages secondaires gays.
