On Loving Women by Diane Obomsawin
4.0
This book, On Loving Women, is a collection of short comics staring Diane Obomsawin’s friends. This book describes how and when they discovered they were lesbians and what the experience was like for them. I am not a lesbian, but I believe everyone should have a right to be whatever they want.
This story was a bit ummm choppy? I guess I didn't realize it was different women in the beginning of the story, so I read it as one woman's experience. I learned this wasn't the case because of conflicting tales, then reread it once I realized my error. For this I take one star away, because I feel that many would make this mistake.
The biggest statement that struck me was this :"I wanted to be the centre of attention...and I wanted nobody to notice me." This was me when I was a teenager, I soon found myself understanding these women even though I have never struggled with how people view me, but I have hated myself and found myself struggling with my identity.
Another thing that I didn't understand was the use of animal heads on these girls? I didn't get that part, aside from the first story. Over all it was a powerful comic, confronting a current issue.
