"For Women and Gender in Comics students had the chance to make zines based on any topic important to them. Hand-made and shared by word-of-mouth rather than through conventional publishing, zines are often used to explore topics not discussed by traditional media, making them a good choice for exploring issues of gender, identity, and the important but overlooked experiences of daily life."-- Professor Margaret Simon, Associate Professor, Department of English
