Drawing the Line: Indian Women Fight Back!"" is a comics anthology by 14 women of their day-to-day experiences in India. Produced out of a week-long workshop with Indian women artists, both amateur and professional, Drawing the Line is part of a larger national conversation in India around sexual discrimination that emerged in the aftermath of the brutal gang-rape and murder of a young medical student in 2012. First published in cooperation with feminist Indian publisher Zubaan Books and the Goethe Institute, Ad Astra Comix is pleased to bring ""Drawing the Line"" to a North American readership, reminding us that feminism must be intersectional and global in its approach.
A really great collection of short comics, Drawing the Line is infused with the strength of the women who created it. These stories are each as unique as the women who created them, facing the worldwide problems of sexism and sexual harassment each in their own way. Giving voice to people and cultures we rarely (if ever) hear from over here in North America.
