![]() ![]() ![]() It may seem like it is a start but honestly to me it doesn’t go anywhere at all. I have never understood arm-chair activism. Women still have to struggle just as much and things need to change and it can only be brought about when people begin to come together and have a conversation. ![]() ![]() From people like Freud to Darwin who thought women were not of much use, Fleming gives you several pointers to think about and actually what it boils down to sadly is that things haven’t changed all that much from those times. Jacky looks at it in a humorous way but of course – the issues are seething and real and are brought to fore nonetheless. The book is about how women throughout history have been confined only to the life of domesticity and nothing else – well at least most women. “The Trouble with Women” is a tongue-in-cheek graphic novel and you guessed it right, it is all about what is wrong with women – or so how the men see women – right from the good old times to the modern age – it is just the patriarchal system that calls the shots. “The Trouble with Women” by Jacky Fleming belongs to the second category of funny graphic novels. There are funny graphic novels that try too hard to be funny and then there are those that evoke a laugh or a guffaw from you at every turn of the page.
