The Trouble with Women by Jacky Fleming
Perfect for fans of Kate Beaton, Lena Dunham, and Caitlin Moran, The Trouble with Women is a feminist's brilliant, tongue-in-cheek, hysterical look at women's "issues," "frailties," and "failures" in our not-so-distant history.Ever noticed that women don't feature much in history books, and wondered why? Then this is the book for you. In The Trouble with Women, feminist artist Jacky Fleming illustrates how the opinions of supposed male geniuses, such as Charles Darwin (who believed that women have smaller brains than men) and John Ruskin (who believed that women's main function was to praise men), have shaped the fate of women through history, confining them to a life of domesticity and very little else.
Get ready to laugh, wince, and rescue forgotten women from the "dustbin of history," while keeping a close eye out for tell-tale "genius hair."
Jacky Fleming is a feminist cartoonist whose work first gained notoriety through a series of pre-internet postcards that were sent to women all around the world. She went on to study Fine Art after a year at Chelsea School of Art. Her first published comic was a cartoon strip she submitted as part of a college essay. Her writing has appeared in a variety of journals since then, including The Guardian, The Independent, The New Statesman, The New Internationalist, Red Pepper, Observer, Diva, You, and The Big Issue. She has six books of cartoons to her credit. Her seventh novel is The Problem with Women.
