The alternative-comics master offers an indelible and
idiosyncratic take on the protofeminist" "Woman Rebel"] is fine
work from an excellent cartoonist and I urge you to jump right
in."-Tom Spurgeon of "The Comics Reporter," from his
introduction
Peter Bagge's "Woman Rebel: The Margaret Sanger Story" is a
dazzling and accessible biography of the social and political
maverick, jam-packed with fact and fun. In his signature cartoony,
rubbery style, Bagge presents the life of the birth-control
activist, educator, nurse, mother, and protofeminist from her birth
in the late nineteenth century to her death after the invention of
the birth control pill. Balancing humor and respect, Bagge makes
Sanger whole and human, showing how her flaws fueled her fiery
activism just as much as her compassionate nature did. Sanger's
life takes on a whole new vivacity as Bagge creates a fast-paced
portrait of a trailblazer whose legacy as the founder of Planned
Parenthood is still incredibly relevant, important, and
inspiring.
