GRAPHIC RAGE: THE BOOK!
Comics on Gender, Justice, and Life as a Woman in America
I am so very very very excited to tell you that my forthcoming book GRAPHIC RAGE: Comics on Gender, Justice, and Life as a Woman in America is officially available for pre-order from Split Lip Press! The book releases on October 7 and represents many years of hard work for me. It includes 25 deep-dive graphic essays on topics like the economic case for abortion rights, the reasons women are less happy now than we were in the 70s, an explainer on why your pants never fit right, the real costs of breastfeeding, and so many more!
Pre-orders are vital to the life of a book and I’m so proud of this one! So if you’re ready to cry, laugh, and rage on the patriarchy, CLICK HERE to pre-order your copy, or HERE to request an ARC for review! I think you’ll be glad you did. But you don’t have to take my word for it! Scroll down for some amazingly generous blurbs from Roxane Gay, Maggie Smith, Shay Mirk and Robert James Russell!
Praise for Graphic Rage:
"Aubrey Hirsch is a master of the graphic essay form. In her collection, Graphic Rage: Comics on Gender, Justice, and Life As a Woman in America, she brings her fierce intellect and commitment to justice to the page in deeply affecting ways. Whether writing about women living in legislated bodies or the gender inequities of medical research or being a woman online, Hirsch demonstrates a keen understanding of contemporary womanhood. These essays are beautifully drawn and full of visual wit. They are rigorously researched and they teach the most critical things we need to know without being overly didactic. Graphic Rage is, also, an exceptional expression of the eminently justifiable rage felt by anyone who sees the world as it is. The collection is necessary and urgent, now more than ever."
—Roxane Gay, author of Bad Feminist and Hunger
"Graphic Rage is an irresistible blend of comics, cultural criticism, research, and reportage, served with a scathing, and often hilarious, side-eye toward the patriarchy. No one else is doing what Aubrey Hirsch does. Hers is a voice I’ve come to rely on in these strange times—a voice we need more than ever."
—Maggie Smith, New York Times bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful
"Aubrey Hirsch's work is a feminist magnifying glass—when she points her sharp lens at an issue, the paper may actually burst into flames. Her comics skillfully connect personal experiences to larger societal issues, making her readers feel less alone as we see the bigger picture we're all (unfortunately) part of."
—Shay Mirk, author of Making Nonfiction Comics: A Guide to Graphic Narrative
"Fearless and unflinching, Aubrey Hirsch’s Graphic Rage confronts injustice with sharp wit and raw honesty—both a searing indictment and a manifesto for hope."
Preordered!!
Congratulations, Aubrey!
