Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This primer on feminism and media literacy teaches young readers why it mattersThe League of Super Feminists is an energetic and fierce comic for tweens and younger teens. Cartoonist Mirion Malle guides readers through some of the central tenets of feminism and media literacy including consent, intersectionality, privilege, body image, inclusivity and more; all demystified in the form of a witty, down-to-earth dialogue that encourages questioning the stories we're told about identity. Malle's insightful and humorous comics transport lofty concepts from the ivory tower to the eternally safer space of open discussion. Making reference to the Bechdel test in film and Peggy McIntosh's dissection of white privilege through the metaphor of the 'invisible knapsack,' The League of Super Feminists is an asset to the classroom, library, and household alike.Knights and princesses present problems associated with consent; superheroes reveal problematic stereotypes associated with gender; and grumpy onlookers show just how insidious cat-calling culture can be. No matter how women dress, Malle explains, there seems to always be someone ready to call it out. The League of Super Feminists articulates with both poise and clarity how unconscious biases and problematic thought processes can have tragic results.Why does feminism matter Are feminists man-haters How do race and feminism intersect Malle answers these questions for young readers, in a comic that is as playful and hilarious as it is necessary.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - '[Ancco's] stories liberate us to be what we are: friends, artists, monsters, mothers, human beings.'- The Globe and MailAt nineteen, the idea that you have your whole life ahead of you with endless possibilities can leave you terrifyingly stiff. Throwing mobility to the wind, you dull yourself with booze. The grown-ups around you are stunted by their own failures so they act out-with alcohol, too, sometimes with violence. What was once the hope of youth quickly spirals into powerlessness and malaise as the days trickle by. Ancco expertly renders the moment of suspension between the desire to grow up and the fear that accompanies it.Autobiography blends with fiction in these coming-of-age stories about people reckoning with their place in their community and women coming to terms with other women. A boy living with HIV tries to decide how he's going to tell his parents-or whether he should tell them at all. A mother puts pressure on her daughter to pass her exams, and the stress drives them both to drink, fueling a toxic relationship with a lot of care just below the ugly surface. Another girl keeps getting bruises, but who's inflicting the damage-herself or a loved one And dogs-seemingly the only ones capable of unconditional love-offer some reprieve.In Nineteen, Ancco delivers a cutting panorama of contemporary Korean society that's much darker than one might expect, while also brimming with life and the vitality of youth.
