In this volume, editors Tahneer Oksman and Seamus O'Malley regard Doucet's and Bell's art as actively feminist, not only because they offer women's perspectives, but because they do so by provocatively bringing up the complicated, multivalent frameworks of such engagements. While each artist has a unique perspective, style, and worldview, the essays in this book investigate their shared investments in formal innovation and experimentation, and in playing with questions of the autobiographical, the fantastic, and the spaces in between. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Doucet is a Canadian underground cartoonist, known for her autobiographical works such as \u003ci\u003eDirty Plotte\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMy New York Diary\u003c\/i\u003e. Meanwhile, Bell is a British American cartoonist best known for her intensely introspective semiautobiographical comics and graphic memoirs, such as the \u003ci\u003eLucky\u003c\/i\u003e series and \u003ci\u003eCecil and Jordan in New York\u003c\/i\u003e. By pairing Doucet alongside Bell, the book recognizes the significance of female networks, and the social and cultural connections, associations, and conditions that shape every work of art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In addition to original essays, this volume republishes interviews with the artists. By reading Doucet's and Bell's comics together in this volume housed in a series devoted to single-creator studies, the book shows how, despite the importance of finding \"a place inside yourself\" to create, this space seems always for better or worse a shared space culled from and subject to surrounding lives, experiences, and subjectivities.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTahneer Oksman\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of academic writing at Marymount Manhattan College.
