Original essays on the career of Alison Bechdel, from Dykes to Watch Out For to Fun Home and Are You My Mother? Contributors examine gender performativity, masculinity, lesbian politics and representation, trauma, life writing and queer theory; place Bechdel among other comics artists; use archival material to study her creative process; and analyze her work in building community through comics. The volume argues that Bechdel's work performs a series of selves across her chosen forms.
