Amazons, Abolitionists, and Activists

The art in this book is wonderful! I think there was a lot going on with this book information wise, I think there might have been too much information shoved into a book that has a little less than 200 pages. For a second or two I felt a bit overwhelmed but that passed and I ended up really enjoying the book!

Great art and I love Mikki Kendall and the premise but this was tooooooo much for the format and though there was an index, there are no citations or research notes given. There's a light through-line story of girls from the future being taken on a tour of women's rights, but this is mostly used as an attempt to force disparite topics together that don't fall easily into the historical timeline. Also, at least one caption is on the totally wrong person. Definitely worth having in the library collection but a little less than I was hoping for.

Highly recommend for adults if you're willing to learn new things, relearn things, and unlearn things. I'm going to have to reread this again sooner than later because each page, even in graphic novel form, had so much information I definitely didn't absorb it all, but hopefully seeds were planted. I hope to find some supplemental reading to this brilliant and needed book.
