5.0

Rhea's project to understand gender on a deeper level and unexpected self-examination is a thoughtful, inclusive look at gender and gender experiences. I loved this insightful book. Rhea approaches the subject matter extremely well. This definitely got me thinking many times. It was interesting to read so many people's experiences paird with Rhea's own reflections.

This was a very thought provoking discussion of gender. I thought the comic was an interesting concept of delivering what the author learning during their interviews. I had hoped I'd learn a bit more. But when you consider the ever changing vocabulary with gender, it's not a bad thing that this graphic novel would leave me with more questions.

I found it a bit hard to get into this book, just because I myself had so many similar experiences that for large chunks of the book, I didn’t feel that I was learning anything. Once I got into it, though, I was able to get through it. Very nice, a bit denser of a read than I was expecting for a graphic novel, but it was nice.
