The latest book by Sweden’s perhaps sharpest feminist pen is a rather loose collection of comics, organized as an ABC book. It’s not the total grip on a subject that “Prins Charles känsla” was, more a little bit of everything this time. As usual, Strömqvist can be rather brutal and categorical in her approach. But this also leads to some pretty drastic fun –and she’s seldom been as funny and vicious as here. And more often than not, she finds new and surprising angles on show more subjects. Among many favorites here are the “Man-whore of the month” series, Girls’ night out in the third reich, the great little comic showing photos of royalty visiting the zoo but with reversed subtitles, and the brilliant bit where Tolkien’s editor tries to get him to introduce some female characters. Very often laugh out loud-funny – but you probably need to be both a lefty and a tad cynical to fully appreciate it. show less
A raucous, outrageous, and outraging history of vulvas, vaginas, and menstruation and the men who hate them.

Maybe if more people read books like this, we'd have fewer books like Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands.
Essa HQ é tão boa, mas tão boa, que dá vontade de ler todo dia para não esquecermos o que o patriarcado faz diariamente com nossas perspectivas sobre os próprios corpos e por séculos! É tudo muito trágico, mas a autora injeta um humor afiadíssimo no seu trabalho que faz tudo ficar ainda mais gostoso de ler.
Um dos melhores livros lançados no Brasil esse ano, indico especialmente para quem tem filhas pré-adolescentes para deixar as gurias espertas quanto ao que o patriarcado tenta show more fazer ao nosso corpo. show less
La virtud de Strömquist es crear una historieta tremendamente divertida sobre el cuerpo teórico de Han e Illouz. Este fondo es muy interesante por las claves que da sobre nuestras actuales sociedades de rendimiento donde premia el distanciamiento emocional vacío, aparte de también atrevido y conflictivo por su mirada evocadora y monógama desde donde se orienta. Pero lo cierto sea dicho, no se trata de textos fácilmente digeribles. La autora sueca consigue crear un rico tapiz en donde show more destaco su utilización a veces hilarante del juego comparativo para mostrar ciertos reversos conductuales, tanto en las tendencias históricas como en los roles de juego, amén de la variedad de figuras femeninas presentadas. Más de Strömquist pronto per favore. show less
