BRAZEN: A Totally Amazing Graphic Novel For Women, By Women

[fiercereadsya]

Comics has historically been a medium dominated by men, which is why we’re so excited to be celebrating International Women’s Day this month by publishing an amazing graphic novel by a fantastic graphic novelist: Brazen by Pénélope Bagieu.

Brazen tells the stories of a lot more amazing women from throughout history. From rappers to empresses to musicians, every one of these people helped make the world better, cooler, or more interestin and Brazen is the place to find out about them — and celebrate our feminist history all this March.

Fight the patriarchy! Read a graphic novel (specifically this one).

[firstsecondbooks]

We’re so proud to be the publishers of this fantastic graphic novel!

[First Second Books]

Happy Book Birthday to Penelope Bagieu and her wonderful nonfiction graphic novel Brazen: Women Who Rocked the World! We’re so delighted to be publishing Penelope and her amazing graphic novels.
