a comics anthology by women

Printed in English for the first time, this collection of short comics from some of Spain's most influential creators highlights and uplifts women's voices, collecting their stories of life, love, and empowerment, demonstrating what it means to be a woman in today's hypermasculine world. Interacting with everything from the realities of gender imbalance in the workplace -- through a gender-flipped lens -- to toxic beauty standards taking a toll on the body image of young girls, "Voices That Count" gives women a space to recount their struggles and triumphs. Stories include: A daughter raised by a feminist father; A dream of a world with gender role reversals; Body-shaming experienced by a girl with a new belly button piercing; and more slice of life tales about the emotional and physical tolls placed on women just trying to get through each day
