Review:

“Truth. Thankfully, The Big Feminist But is strong anthology work, with an emphatic and seriously-felt point of view. The criteria is also incredibly multifaceted: no one involved questions the need to use the word “feminism,” the authors just differ over what the term means and how to apply it in everyday life.” – Hillary Brown, Paste Magazine

“In all of these stories there is a sense of paradigms shifting and boundaries melting, with fresh possibilities springing forth – feminism in action.” ― Robert Kirby, The Comics Journal

"Brilliant, funny, touching, sweet, dark, righteous comics..." — Jezebel

“One of the great strengths of this book: that no matter where you’re coming from, you’re bound to find an idea or two in here that are surprising or unexpected. And while none of the stories are preachy―many, in fact, are quite the opposite―you could easily find yourself considering some alternative points of view.” ― Sean Kleefeld, Freaksugar

"The Big Feminist BUT kicks ass." — Heidi MacDonald
