Riassunto

The Big Feminist BUT: Comics about Women, Men and the IFs, ANDs & BUTs of Feminism is a comics anthology that asks: What do we really mean when we say, "I'm not a feminist, BUT..." or "I am 100% a feminist, BUT..." What do our great big "BUTs" say about where things stand between the sexes in the 21st Century? We asked some of the most talented ladies (and gentlemen) working in comics and animation today, along with some of the smartest writers we know including Lauren Weinstein, Jeffrey Brown, Sarah Oleksyk, Gabrielle Bell, Justin Hall, Ron Rege Jr., Vanessa Davis, Josh Neufeld, Andi Zeisler, Angie Wang, and a whole lot more, to "but" into the heated discussion about the much more level but still contradictory playing field both sexes are struggling to find their footing on today.

Recensione:

Truth. Thankfully, The Big Feminist But is strong anthology work, with an emphatic and seriously-felt point of view. The criteria is also incredibly multifaceted: no one involved questions the need to use the word feminism,” the authors just differ over what the term means and how to apply it in everyday life.” Hillary Brown, Paste Magazine

In all of these stories there is a sense of paradigms shifting and boundaries melting, with fresh possibilities springing forth feminism in action.” Robert Kirby, The Comics Journal

"Brilliant, funny, touching, sweet, dark, righteous comics..." — Jezebel

One of the great strengths of this book: that no matter where you’re coming from, you’re bound to find an idea or two in here that are surprising or unexpected. And while none of the stories are preachy many, in fact, are quite the opposite you could easily find yourself considering some alternative points of view.” Sean Kleefeld, Freaksugar

"The Big Feminist BUT kicks ass." — Heidi MacDonald
