Feminist Comic Studies

Feminist Comic Studies is an academic approach that examines comics through the lens of gender and social equality. It explores how comics portray women, challenge stereotypes, and reflect or influence cultural attitudes towards gender. By analyzing characters, storytelling, and visual elements, this field aims to uncover and critique gendered power dynamics, promote diverse representation, and highlight how comics can serve as tools for social change. Essentially, it combines the study of comics with feminist perspectives to better understand and advocate for gender equity in popular culture.
