Illustrating Resilience: Representation and Violence Against Women in Graphic Novels, explores the relationship between memory and catharsis in graphic novels that portray sexual trauma through the female experience.
In telling such stories, graphic novels thus become a powerful tool for providing a perspective for understanding sexual violence and its effect on women but additionally help us to perceive sexual violence in the visual culture of contemporary society.
