Sydney Heifler has a new review of the book Comic Book Women in Inks: The Journal of the Comics Studies Society. The review begins:

"Peyton Brunet and Blair Davis’s Comic Book Women: Characters, Creators, and Culture in the Golden Age is a book driven by a feminist praxis. Their objective is to center women comics creators and women characters within the male-dominated comics history. Brunet and Davis divide the book into eight chapters with an introduction and conclusion, plus a foreword by Trina Robbins. The foreword by Robbins explains the importance of women’s and girls’ comics for readers, both past and present. The chapters are titled after the comic book genres to which they are devoted: Superhero, Jungle, Crime, Horror, Western, Science Fiction, and Romance, with chapter 6 devoted to title characters. This organization allows Brunet and Davis to address the comic book characters and women-centered plots of each genre as well as the women creators behind them."
