Description

Wimmen¿s Comix (1972-1992) dove head first into topics that others within the underground comic movement refused to breach, such as abortion, menstruation, masturbation, queerness, witches, murderesses, and, of course, feminism. This studio course will use the history of the Wimmen¿s Comix movement as a scaffolding to investigate the inherently political nature of underground comics and what it means to create contemporary feminist comics in a post Roe v. Wade society.
