Drawing Power: Women's Stories of Sexual Violence, Harassment, and Survival cover

More than 60 female comics creators share their personal experiences with sexual violence and harassment through new and original comics

Inspired by the global #MeToo Movement, Drawing Power: Women’s Stories of Sexual Violence, Harassment, and Survival is a collection of original, nonfiction comics drawn by more than 60 female cartoonists from around the world. Featuring such noted creators as Emil Ferris, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, MariNaomi, Liana Finck, and Ebony Flowers the anthology’s contributors comprise a diverse group of many ages, sexual orientations, and races—and their personal stories convey the wide spectrum of sexual harassment and abuse that is still all too commonplace. With a percentage of profits going to RAINN, Drawing Power is an anthology that stokes the fires of progressive social upheaval, in the fight for a better, safer world.

"Their stories are both demoralizing and powerfully inspirational, as these women use art to reclaim individual power and dignity, and to challenge a culture of pervasive sexual predation." -- The Fanatic, Publishers Weekly
