Journal d'une femen #[nn]

A striking piece of graphic journalism from Le Lombard, Journal d'une Femen puts readers inside the world of the feminist activist movement through vivid sequential art. The cover — by Dufranne and Lefebvre — places a red-haired woman front and center, fist raised high, flowers in her hair, with the words "My Body My Rules" written across her chest, while a group of fellow activists surround her, arms aloft, bearing slogans like "Freedom" and "Sexism Is Not Sex." It's a bold, visually charged 2014 release that brings an unmistakably human face to one of that era's most provocative protest movements.
