After loving his comic Fire!! about Zora Neale Huston, I had to get Woman Rebel. Like Fire!!, I ended up liking this book as well. I don't know much about Margaret Sanger beforehand. I knew she was a feminist, involved with birth control, and just last year I learned she was one inspiration for Wonder Woman. After reading this, I found out even more things. Like Bagge states afterwords, I fell into the trap looking her up online only to see things that sounded...well...a little off. Being a fan of H.G. Wells books, I found it interesting he was not only a supporter of her views, but one of her lovers as well. Regardless what you think of Sanger's views or politics, she made a huge impact on human life, especially for women's lives.

Also, as I said in my Fire!! review, I still think there should be more biography comic books. I swear I learn more form these type of books than from regular non-fiction books. Just make sure the inside art is interesting enough though. I happen to like Bagge's style. ( )

I learned a lot about Margaret Sanger and her importance for women around the world - and all of this through a quick graphic novel! ( )

This was interesting, and funny at times, but I the illustrations didn't work for me and I sometimes couldn't tell if what was going on was alluding to something that I should already know or not. What if I came to the book not knowing anything about Sanger and her housekeeper? Would I have understood the unusualness there? The author assumes I would.

Biographies of women like Sanger are so important, but this one leaves too many spaces. ( )

I thought I was pretty familiar with Margaret Sanger, but I learned a ton from this. It's packed with biographical information and has citations at the end explaining the source material.

Great for anyone curious about the history of contraceptive use in America. ( )

Not a big fan of the artwork, but the story was engaging and informative, inspiring me to learn more about Margaret Sanger and the context she worked in.
