This presentation of ladies of myths and legends was captivating and interesting. With detailed graphics that tell stories in interesting ways along with research and examples in modern literature, this is an excellent read. I would highly recommend this read.

Blanche Sabbah is really onto something with this format. Easily digestible concerning the graphics with an easily followed history of the woman depicted. Then a follow up after each 3 paged graphic with a commentary on either an in-depth look at the story, or the implications it had on women. So it looks at the stories through a feminist lens! I adored it, the diversity and inclusion of so many different heroines, goddesses, and princesses is incredibly necessary and this will definitely be ordered!

I expected something different from this book: "Ladies of Legend" doesn't really offer a retelling of popular myths, but instead gives short summaries and then adds rather subjective opinion pieces on all of them.

I liked the art style but the rest wasn't for me.

A great retelling of classic female characters or stories from their perspective, instead of mens! Each story features a cute comic telling, often with a retelling/modern picture at the end. Then there is a page of two or text about how we should reimagine that story through a feminist perspective. I enjoyed this a lot! It was so cute but also had great analyses of these stories.

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
