I had the privilege (and pleasure) of reading and reviewing the book "Drawing (In) The Feminine. Bande Dessinée and Women" edited by Margaret C. Flinn The Ohio State University Press. Highly recommended! If you'd like to read my review, you can find it on the IJOCA blog: ijoca.blogspot.com/2024/08/book-r…
