Story and art by Trina Robbins.

In the 1920's, women got the vote. They smoked, drank, shortened their hair and tossed their corsets.

It was a revolution, and Fantagraphics celebrates that revolution with a collection of full-color strips documenting well-known cartoonists such as Ethel Hays and Nell Brinkley and also artists like art-deco illustrator Eleanor Schorer, fashion chronicler Edith Stevens and Virginia Huget, whose girls were seemingly always in a euphoric state of Charleston.

Trina Robbins presents a liberating hardcover book filled with illustrations and comic strips.

Story and art by Tom Humberstone.

One of the greatest tennis players the world has ever seen was a woman few even remember.

A championship player by the age of fifteen in a Europe overshadowed by impending war, Suzanne Lenglen broke records for ticket sales and match winning streaks, scandalised and entranced the public with her playing outfits, and became a pioneer, making friends and enemies throughout restrictive tennis society in the trailblazing jazz age.

With stunning art and an astute eye, Suzanne explores how she battled bias in sporting journalism and her own divisive personality, to forge a new path and to change sport forever.
