Voices That Count

A kaleidoscopic, collaborative graphic novel that celebrates the universal stories of womanhood, honoring the daily struggles and triumphs of women across generations

This anthology composed by nine different stories talks about a feminist father; how anorexia was the original impostor syndrome; how women silence themselves; a song that unites all women throughout history; how the lives of your ancestors have shaped who you are today; how a moment shared between mother and daughter becomes the seed of your work; and about using courage to do what everyone tells you that you cannot do.
