Dressing Eve:  Re-drawing Biblical Women through  Comics for Leo Baeck Institute, London, Lecture Series

  • Leo Baeck Institute London (map)

Jewish women have been at the forefront of feminist autobiographical comics since the 1970's as they challenged sexism in popular culture. But how have they revised misogynistic images and stories closer to home? I will illustrate how Sharon Rudahl in her bildungsroman "The Star Sapphire", Miriam Katin in her Holocaust memoir, We Are on Our Own, and my own graphic novel, The Book of Sarah, transform biblical narratives and images to reflect their own, lived, experiences.
