New, Improved! Dykes to Watch Out For

1990Alison Bechdel

4.9/5

Alison Bechdel makes me laugh out loud. These books always remind me that none of the arguments and debates I have with my friends/family/etc are remotely new - they're decades old (at least). Reject the institution, or infiltrate and work within it? Therapy as elitist self-indulgence, or as a tool of feminist empowerment? At moments, DTWOF makes me think "God, here I am, reinventing the wheel and thinking I'm so cutting-edge and progressive. Ha!"I've been surprised by some of the trans-ignorance and gender policing that pops up every so often in these books. I guess I missed that when I skimmed these a while back. Maybe Alison Bechdel's shifted with respect to that stuff...
