As someone who grew up during the civil war and later found my path in feminist activism, I felt a profound responsibility to document this history—not just as an observer, but as someone who has been shaped by it. The process of creating this graphic novel was one of both catharsis and learning, allowing me to reconnect with the stories and struggles that define my identity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66476f345097ef24957b73b6/cfa41f44-3432-4efc-8512-dca0e5213144/Cover+1.jpg Blog - From Lebanon to the World: Documenting Feminist Histories Through Graphic Storytelling - Make it stand out Where to Marie?

The choice of medium was intentional. Graphic novels are an incredible tool for bridging the gap between complex subjects and diverse audiences. By combining visual art and storytelling, they can convey nuanced ideas in an engaging and relatable way, reaching people who might otherwise feel excluded from academic or activist circles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66476f345097ef24957b73b6/e32d64af-e8e3-4644-a8cf-20ee64f715ab/Cover+8.jpg Blog - From Lebanon to the World: Documenting Feminist Histories Through Graphic Storytelling - Make it stand out Where to Marie?
