Summary

Women In Comics explores the significant yet often marginalized contributions of female creators and characters to the comic book industry. It examines how women have shaped narratives, styles, and the overall landscape of this art form, challenging conventional historical narratives. The book highlights how the evolution of female characters, from stereotypical figures to complex protagonists, mirrors broader societal shifts. For example, early female characters often played damsels, whereas modern comics showcase empowered heroes.

 
The analysis unfolds by first introducing early female pioneers who overcame considerable obstacles. It then explores the evolution of female character archetypes and concludes by addressing the current state of representation in the industry. By blending historical research with contemporary analysis, Women In Comics offers a balanced perspective on both the progress made and the challenges that remain in achieving gender equality within the comic book world. This comprehensive approach makes the book particularly valuable for those interested in media studies, art history, and gender representation.

    Taste in Music - Eating on Tour...

    Through original essays and engaging conversations with dozens of indie musicians representing several subgenres, scenes, and eras, food takes center stage in stories about being on tour and eating on tour and how this basic human necessity can create a sense of community and interconnectedness in one of the most mobile industries in the world. Based broadly on the subject of eating on tour, these entries each spin off into their own focused and exciting behind-the-scenes story, but all confirm what Pyenson and Bleeker suspected all along—food looms large in the lives of touring musicians, and it can be used as a gateway into understanding what going on tour is really like. 
     
     
     
    Stories that deal with the best parts of touring: meaningful cultural exchange, hospitality-induced euphoria, and the opportunity to build relationships around the world. And the worst: loneliness, exhaustion, estrangement from family and friends, struggles with disordered eating, and unsteady access to medical care. 
     
     
     
    So the question isn't, "How was tour?" It's, "What do you eat on tour?" Like the best songs or meals, these conversations and essays evoke something central about the human experience. They show us all the ways that music and food bring us together, break us down, lift us up, and add color to our lives.

    A lively collection of essays that re-examines the extraordinary legacies of the four Canadian women who dominated ’90s music and changed the industry forever
    		 
    Fully revised and updated, with a foreword by Vivek Shraya
    		 
    “A fascinating, fun, and infuriating read.” — Tegan Quin, Tegan and Sara 
    		 
    In this of-the-moment essay collection, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner explores the ways in which Céline Dion, Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette, and Sarah McLachlan became bonafide global superstars while revolutionizing ’90s music. In an era when male-fronted musical acts dominated radio and were given serious critical consideration, these four women were reduced, mocked, and disparaged by the media and became pop culture jokes, even as their albums were topping the charts and demolishing sales records.
    		 
    With empathy, humor, and reflections on her own teenaged perceptions of Céline, Shania, Alanis, and Sarah, Andrea offers us a revised and expanded edition of her 2015 book, providing a new perspective on the legacies of the four Canadian women who dominated the ’90s airwaves and influenced an entire generation of current day popstars with their voices, fashion, and advocacy. As the world is now reconsidering the treatment and reputations of key women in ’90s entertainment, We Oughta Know is definitively entering the chat.
