1st printing. Written by Bonnie J. Morris, Ph.D. Art by Phill Evans. Womens History For Beginners offers a lively, revealing, and provocative overview of this important (and controversial) academic field. Who are the great women of history, and why dont we know more about them? You dont need to be a scholar to notice that mens history dominates everything we learn in school; yet a quick tour of the past reveals dynamic female role models at every turn. This is more than an introduction to womens roles and contributions across time. It also examines the ways that women in all societies have been ruled by men, according to law and custom. Womens History For Beginners opens with a critical investigation of why so few of us are exposed to womens history in our years of schooling—and why educators and political groups remain leery of bringing fair, accurate womens history content into the classroom even now. It concludes with the reminder that women, too, are divided by race and class and nationality; that there is no one-size-fits-all womens history but many different versions, each worthy of investigation and understanding. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 200 pages, B&W. Cover price $16.99.

Written by Caleb Melby. Art and cover by JESS3.

Apple cofounder Steve Jobs (1955-2011) had such an enormous impact on so many people that his life often took on aspects of myth. But much of his success was due to collaboration with designers, engineers and thinkers whose love of the spotlight was not as great as his own. The Zen of Steve Jobs tells the story of his relationship with one such person: Kobun Chino Otogawa, a Zen Buddhist priest who emigrated to the U.S. from Japan in the early 1970s. He was an innovator, lacked appreciation for rules and was passionate about art and design. This graphic novella centers on the period after Jobs's exile from Apple in 1985 when he took up intensive study with Kobun. Their time together was integral to the big leaps that Apple took later on with its product design and business strategy.
