Jacky FlemingThe Trouble with Women

Description

Review “This book is savagely funny and wonderfully constructed. . . . There isn’t a man, woman, or child who wouldn’t benefit from spending time with this one.” (India Knight, The Sunday Times)"This book is an utter delight—it does something I always admire, making very serious points but doing so through the medium of humor and satire. And oh my god, it does it so very well, text and cartoons working perfectly together here—I had to pause my reading frequently because I was laughing too much to continue to the next page." (Joe Gordon, Forbidden Planet)"A brilliantly witty book of cartoons, it reveals some of our greatest thinkers’ baffling theories about women … Get ready to laugh, wince and rescue forgotten women from the ‘dustbin of history’, whilst keeping a close eye out for tell-tale ‘genius hair’. You will never look at history in the same way again." (John Freeman, Down the Tubes) Read more About the Author Jacky Fleming is a feminist cartoonist, whose work first became known through her series of pre-internet postcards, which reached women around the world by snail mail.
