Why read it?
1 author picked Woman Rebel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is an excellent example of how good comic books are at covering biography and history.
It’s about Margaret Sanger, a very brave and intelligent woman who fought long and hard for birth control in the early 20thC, at a time when that was very controversial.
