Smash the Patriarchy

by Siân Mackie Author, Jenny Jordahl Author and Marta Breen Author

An instructive and fun YA graphic nonfiction approach to smashing the patriarchy for once and for all. With punchy text by Marta Breen and vivid illustrations from Jenny Jordahl, translated by Siân Mackie, Smash the Patriarchy explores gender inequality since at least the time of Aristotle with verve, humor, and irreverence. Calling on readers to deal the final blows to a system that has treated women as inferiors for generations, this book is unafraid to skewer famous patriarchs such as Rousseau, Kant, and Woody Allen, while uplifting the stories and accomplishments of over one hundred inspiring women throughout the ages, from Mary Wollstonecraft to Amanda Gorman.

  • Colorful comic panel depicting piles of newspapers and magazines with feminist movement headlines.
