Organised into three sections, the book looks at the representation of women as main characters created by men, as secondary characters created by men, and as characters created by women.   It focuses on female characters, both primary and secondary, in the francophone comic or bande dessinee, as well as the work of female bande dessinee creators more generally.\r\n\r\n Until now these characters and creators have received relatively little scholarly attention  this new book is set to change this status quo.   Using feminist scholarship, especially from well-known film and literary theorists, the book asks what it means to draw women from within a phallocentric, male-dominated paradigm, as well as how the particular medium of bande dessinee, its form as well as its history, has shaped dominant representations of women.   This is the first book to study the representation of women in the French-language drawn strip.\r\n\r\n There are no other works with this specific focus, either on women in Franco-Belgian comics, or on the drawn representation of women by men.   This is a very useful addition to both general discussions of French-language comics, and to discussions of women's comics, which are focused on comics by women only.   As it is written in English, and due to the popularity of comic art in Britain and the United States, this book will primarily appeal to an Anglo-American market.\r\n\r\n However, the cultural and gender studies approach this text employs (theoretical frameworks still not widely seen in non-Anglophone studies of the bande dessinee) will ensure that the text is also of interest to a Franco-Belgian audience.   With a focus on an art-form which also inspires a lot of public (non-academic) enthusiasm, it will also appeal to fans of the bande dessinee (or wider comic art medium) who are interested in the representation of women in comic art, and to comics scholars on a broad scale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
