Ladydrawers
Last time on Ladydrawers, MariNaomi and Anne Elizabeth Moore looked at around 30 of the most recent books from some of the biggest comic-book makers in the US to determine how rates of hire were breaking down by gender. And while the numbers are occasionally appalling (especially compared to the relatively high rate of women writers seeing their work published over in the literary world), a closer look tells a slightly different picture—although one that may strike you as no less appalling.

A terrifying moment. We appeal for your support.
In the last weeks, we have witnessed an authoritarian assault on communities in Minnesota and across the nation.
The need for truthful, grassroots reporting is urgent at this cataclysmic historical moment. Yet, Trump-aligned billionaires and other allies have taken over many legacy media outlets — the culmination of a decades-long campaign to place control of the narrative into the hands of the political right.
We refuse to let Trump’s blatant propaganda machine go unchecked. Untethered to corporate ownership or advertisers, Truthout remains fearless in our reporting and our determination to use journalism as a tool for justice.
But we need your help just to fund our basic expenses. Over 80 percent of Truthout’s funding comes from small individual donations from our community of readers, and over a third of our total budget is supported by recurring monthly donors.
Truthout’s fundraiser ended last night, and we fell just short of our goal. But your support still matters immensely. Whether you can make a small monthly donation or a larger one-time gift, Truthout only works with your help.
