Gender: A Graphic Guide by Meg-John Barker
fast-paced
1.0
Long story short:
Very disappointing. Extremely low quality with very short descriptions that barely touch the surface of any theme. Mostly things are just said and a lot of terms tossed around with no real explanation or further mention (I was familiar with pretty much everything in here so it just felt useless to read but if someone genuinely doesn't know them then unfortunately there's 0 to no explanation). Reads like a Wikipedia paragraph or an illustrated dictionary at times. This is not what a graphic novel is, so it's also misplaced in category. A lot of important writers and works on gender and feminism were mentioned here and I kept thinking I definitely should have picked up any of them instead of this.
