Typical Girls: The Rhetoric of Womanhood in Comic Strips uncovers the understudied and developing history of these strips, defining and exploring the ramifications of this expression of women's roles at a time of great change in history and in comic art. This impressive, engaging, and timely study illustrates how these comics express the complexities of women's experiences, especially as such experiences were shaped by shifting and often competing notions of womanhood and feminism. Including the comics of Lynn Johnston (For Better or For Worse), Cathy Guisewite (Cathy), Nicole Hollander (Sylvia), Lynda Barry (Ernie Pook's Comeek), Barbara Brandon-Croft (Where I'm Coming From), Alison Bechdel (Dykes to Watch Out For), and Jan Eliot (Stone Soup), Typical Girls is an important history of the representation of womanhood and women's rights in popular comic strips. 410 $aStudies in Comics and Cartoons 606 $aLiterary Criticism / Comics & Graphic Novels$2bisacsh 606 $aLiterary Criticism / Women Authors$2bisacsh 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 615 7$aLiterary Criticism / Comics & Graphic Novels 615 7$aLiterary Criticism / Women Authors 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a741.5/3522 700 $aKirtley$b Susan E$01070822 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476831003321 996 $aTypical Girls$92565156 997 $aUNINA
