A compilation of her famous strip running from the late 80s to early 2000s, Bechdel's Essential Dykes to Watch Out For offers a radical combination of topics surpassing gendered roles, sexual empowerment, political distress and more. For fans of Fun Home and Are You My Mother?, DTWOF offers a lighter, more comical depiction of growing up and developing with an unconventional community as a post-grad and beyond. This collection beautifully shows Bechdel's artistic transformation as well as her innate ability to consolidate political history with socially conscious growth.
