This colorful graphic novel features the philosophical and existential musings of a cat named Penny.

Filled with ennui, angst, and vivid dreams, Penny proves that being a cat is more profound than we once thought.
WHY SHE WROTE GRAPHIC HISTORY OF CLASSIC WOMEN WRITERS
(W) Lauren Burke (A) Kaley Bales (CA) Cosmic Debri
Why did Jane Austen struggle to write for five years before her first novel was ever published? How did Edith Maude Eaton's writing change the narrative around Chinese immigrant workers in North America? Why did the Bront sisters choose to write under male pennames, and Anne Lister write her personal diaries in code? Learn about women writers from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, from familiar favorites to those who have undeservedly fallen into obscurity, and their often untold histories. Why She Wrote highlights these incredible women's hardships, their influence, and the spark that called them to write.
