This Woman’s Work

This Woman’s Work

Julie Delporte, Drawn & Quarterly

Womanhood is about as easy a concept to pin down as a cloud. Yet, Julie Delporte manages it, in This Woman’s Work where she looks back on her own life, including memories of trauma and sexual abuse, in order to make sense of femininity, creativity, and the reality of womanhood today. This work, bursting at the seams with vulnerability, is one we need and cannot afford to ignore.
