Over the past few years, academic interest in comics has been on the rise, as indicated by the inauguration of several peer-reviewed journals focusing on graphic narratives (including, for example, the Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics and Studies in Comics), as well as the establishment of a Comics and Graphic Narratives discussion group at the Modern Language Association Convention in 2009 (founded by Hillary L. Chute). This academic attention has coincided with an increasing recognition of comics as a respected form of literature in more mainstream venues, from popular bookstores to the pages of The New York Times Magazine. Yet, as Chute attests in Graphic Women: Life Narrative and Contemporary Comics, women have often been virtually left out of discussions of what many see as the “man's world” of comics. While a large number of women are involved in both the production of and criticism about comics and two are the creators of arguably the most popular and widely acclaimed graphic narratives in recent years (Persepolis and Fun Home), scholarly criticism about women and comics is not nearly as widespread as it could or should be. Chute's Graphic Women is the first book-length scholarly work devoted to a theoretical exploration of women and comics, and in it she establishes graphic narrative as a form with a profound and unique feminist potential
