The Big Feminist But: Comics about Women, Men and the Ifs, Ands & Buts of Feminism

A single-issue comic from 2013, The Big Feminist But is a sharp, humorous anthology from writer Shannon O'Leary and artist Joan Reilly that explores the messy, contradictory edges of modern feminism—the "ifs, ands, and buts" of gender politics. Published as a one-shot, it offers a series of short, pointed vignettes about women, men, and the complicated negotiations between them. Reilly's expressive, cartoonish art gives the book's satirical tone a warm, accessible edge. It's a compact, thoughtful snapshot of feminist conversation from the early 2010s.
