House of Women von Sophie Goldstein
Incredibly beautiful art, but the use of visual archetypes is pretty repetitive and cliched. But this story intrigued me and worried me, and I can't quite untangle the threads and arcs around gender, imperialism, and Judaism in this text....
Lightweight, not trying to be much more than a satire of young adulthood, but I enjoyed it.
Pretty art, and I always welcome a graphic novel about back-to-the-landers in a dystopian setting, but I felt the story was weak.
The gender politics here were weird - Maggie's "regressive" domesticity is portrayed as a natural consequence of being constantly pregnant & breastfeeding. But her actual work "at home" includes heavy-duty tasks like animal husbandry. Meanwhile, the male work (agriculture) is outside the home - Maggie's husband and Eric literally drive to their field. There could be some worldbuilding reason that their arable land isn't right next to the house, but it seems like an artificial way to make the point that living off the land == gendered labor.
Meanwhile, because Syd is enjoying her work, we get the impression that women's labor is all fun and games (knitting! cheese-making!) while men's work is real labor. The storytelling reflects Syd and Eric's experiences of their new life, but as a consequence we never get to see Syd washing laundry all day or slaughtering all those chickens.
Tl;dr: this graphic novel raises some interesting questions but would benefit from an infusion of feminism.… (mehr)

Caught my eye on display at the library. I read it standing there. A short graphic novel that brought to mind Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and other stories of a dystopic future based on environmental catastrophe and dwindling resources. It is rated for adult content (there's a very tame scene featuring cunnilingus) but reads very much like a story for younger people. It would probably spark good discussion for teens and pre-teens.
