In this groundbreaking collection of essays, interviews, and
artwork, contributors draw upon a rich treasure trove of Jewish
women's comics to explore the representation of Jewish women's
bodies and bodily experience in pictorial narratives. Spanning
national, cultural, and artistic borders, the essays shine a light
on the significant contributions of Jewish women to comics. The
volume includes major figures such as Miriam Katin, Emil Ferris,
Aline Kominsky-Crumb, and Rutu Modan alongside works by artists
translated for the first time into English, such as the Georgian
Nino Biniashvili and the Haredi artist Batsheva Havlin. Exploring
topics such as family, motherhood, miscarriages, queerness, gender
and Judaism, illness, war, and the lingering impact of the
Holocaust, the contributors present unique, at times deeply
personal, insights into how Jewishness intersects with other forms
of identity and identification. In doing so, the volume deepens our
understanding of Jewish women's experiences.
