Invisible PresenceThe Representation of Women in French-Language Comics\nAuthor(s): Catriona MacLeod\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Intellect, United Kingdom\nImprint: Intellect Books\nISBN-13: 9781789386813, 978-1789386813\nSynopsis\nThis book looks at the representation of female characters in French comics from their first appearance in 1905. Organised into three sections, the book looks at therepresentation of women as main characters created by men, as secondary characters created by men, and as characters created by women.\nIt focuses on female characters, both primary and secondary, in the francophone comic or bande dessine, as well as the work of female bande dessine creators more generally. Until now these characters and creators have received relatively little scholarly attention; this new book is set to change this status quo.\nUsing feminist scholarship, especially from well-known film and literary theorists, thebook asks what it means to draw women from within a phalloce.
