Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir by Liz Prince

5.0

I have read Liz Prince's previous stuff and she never ceases to amaze me. Tomboy may just be her best work yet. I generally relate to a lot of her stories especially Alone Forever. I related to the events she went through (i.e. sometimes being mistaken for a boy, being very anti-dress, liking stuff that's considered 'for boys only') and often questioning why society tends to see girls in a certain light while boys can generally get away with whatever unless if they decide to go for something more feminine. Even if you don't really consider yourself a 'tomboy' there's a lot that anyone can relate to. Because it's really a book for outsiders and at the end, there is comfort that one day you will find that group of people that accept you for who you are. I highly recommend it to anyone who has been labeled a 'tomboy' or even just an outsider.
