A review by sendlasagna
Why She Wrote: A Graphic History of the Lives, Inspiration, and Influence Behind the Pens of Classic Women Writers by Lauren Burke, Hannah K. Chapman

medium-paced

4.0

Very cool stuff. The essays preceding the comics were wicked, I loved the intro essay and the comics’ art style. The colour of the cover doesn’t fit with the art style inside, though. 

Writers I particularly enjoyed: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley; Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell; Mary Wollstonecraft; Frances E W Harper; Alice Dunbar Nelson; Edith Maude Eaton; Louisa May Alcott — and probably the one to most fascinate me in every regard, Anne Lister. 

Note to self: it’s the Beatrix Potter/ Peter Rabbit art style in the childhood book of fables 

Cool words: Ameliorate, garner, consumption
