Man-Eaters, Vol. 1 by Chelsea Cain

5.0

This is a really clever, feminist twist on an epidemic of sorts. The parallels of how both cats and women are seen and derided as unknowable and hence unpredictable, as well as how we can’t be trusted with our “power” because it is both too dangerous and we’re too infantile to use it, are played up to great effect. And the inclusion of the cats-focused boys magazine at the end was a great slice into both how the world might react to girls suddenly turning into homicidal big cats, and how the focus is still going to be on making sure the boys are safe and secure, regardless of the trauma the girls are going through.
