Amidst beautifully rendered scenes emerges Ewing’s own story of growing up in rural Kentucky, grappling with their identity as a teenager, and ultimately finding themself through art-and by creating something this very fine. Questions such as “How do you Identify” produced fiercely honest stories of dealing with adolescence, taking hormones, changing pronouns-and how these experiences can differ, often drastically, depending on culture, race, and religion. A decade later, this project exploded into a sweeping portrait of the intricacies of gender expression with interviewees from all over the country. As graphic artist Rhea Ewing neared college graduation in 2012, they became consumed by the question: What is gender? This obsession sparked a quest in which they eagerly approached both friends and strangers in their quiet Midwest town for interviews to turn into comics.

She says the answer to this problem is very simply that we should eliminate the assumptions which, when held at the cultural or societal levels, have historically resulted in the historical disenfranchisement of women. This is because unchecked, men bring assumptions about competition and aggression to the political realm, which keeps the whole world in a state of fight or flight. The very same thirst for power and wealth that disenfranchises minorities and women is responsible for the kinds of geopolitical and economic foreign policy that brings war. She feels peace is not an option when men dominate according to historical traditions that protect and insulate the rich, powerful few in power. Woolf says the world is at war because there is an imbalance at the geopolitical level.

Something I truly appreciated about this book was that it frequently delved into people’s insecurities. To showcase how growing up in a situation such as this can affect you. The way she reacted was so hard hitting, because I know that some people would probably be thinking “why isn’t she standing up for herself? She’s freaking Dreadnought.” And that’s really the point. In Dreadnought, Danny Tozer is often confronted with situations that make her reconsider her opinions and stances on things, which scare and confuse her. I would like to thank the people at Diversion Publishing for allowing me to have an ARC of this book via NetGalley. No longer having to masquerade as a boy, Danny must figure out how to come out as transgender, while defending the world from Dreadnought’s murderer, Utopia. With superhero Dreadnought falling dead in front of her, Danny inherits his powers and is gifted with her most desired thing: the body of her dreams. Her personal life, like Shawn’s, often received more attention than her professional accomplishments, and her obituaries predictably devoted a lot of space to their affair, which might have chagrined but not surprised her. The catalog of his phobias and behavioral tics, the intrigue (especially his decades-long office romance with Lillian Ross, which was meant to be a deep, deep secret and become, with the passage of time, merely the obvious but unmentionable status quo), the passive-aggressive manipulation of colleagues and contributors, the velvet tenacity of his grip on power…it’s all almost enough to make us forget the astonishing success with which he steered the magazine.Įarlier this week, Lillian Ross passed away at the age of ninety-nine. Nowadays Shawn is nearly as famous for his oddities as for his editorial prowess. A few days ago, while reading Adam Begley’s biography of John Updike, I came across the following passage about William Shawn, the legendary editor of The New Yorker: The novel begins a few years prior to the start of the French Revolution.

The plot unfolds in France and England and is a melodramatic story, full of unlikely plot twists, involving many interrelated characters on both sides of the English channel during this very tumultuous period in history.
