Please join us and support our important work to advance equality in the Midwest and across the country.

SUMMARY:Alison Bechdel on Spent: A Comic Novel
DESCRIPTION:Alison Bechdel is known for her pioneering comic strips Dykes to Watch Out For and the modern classics Fun Home (as well as the Tony-Award winning musical adaptation)\, Are You My Mother?\, and The Secret to Superhuman Strength. But her acclaim doesn’t stop there — her last name is synonymous with the “Bechdel Test\,” a way to assess how women are portrayed in media. Join us as she explores her newest work of autofiction\, Spent: A Comic Novel\, which makes the case for seizing what’s true about life at this moment\, before it’s too late.
