Marbles / Ellen (artist) Forney

Public ISBD Title : Marbles : Mania, Depression, Michelangelo & Me Material Type: printed text Authors: Ellen (artist) Forney, Author Publisher: Penguin Random House Publication Date: 2012 ISBN (or other code): 978-1-592-40732-3 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Graphic Novels and Comics Media, Art and Culture Mental Health Abstract: Shortly before her thirtieth birthday, Forney was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Flagrantly manic and terrified that medications would cause her to lose creativity, she began a years-long struggle to find mental stability while retaining her passions and creativity. Searching to make sense of the popular concept of the crazy artist, she finds inspiration from the lives and work of other artists and writers who suffered from mood disorders, including Vincent van Gogh, Georgia O’Keeffe, William Styron, and Sylvia Plath. She also researches the clinical aspects of bipolar disorder, including the strengths and limitations of various treatments and medications, and what studies tell us about the conundrum of attempting to “cure” an otherwise brilliant mind. Darkly funny and intensely personal, Forney’s memoir provides a visceral glimpse into the effects of a mood disorder on an artist’s work, as she shares her own story through bold black-and-white images and evocative prose.

Hood Feminism: Notes From the Women That a Movement Forgot / Mikki Kendall

Public ISBD Title : Hood Feminism: Notes From the Women That a Movement Forgot Material Type: printed text Authors: Mikki Kendall, Author Publisher: Penguin Random House ISBN (or other code): 978-0-525-56054-8 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Activism and Community Organizing Biography and personal stories Black Studies Black/Anti-Black Body, beauty and fat activism Capitalism Children Disability/Ableism & Accessibility Education Feminism Feminisms of Colour/Race and Feminism Fundamentals (housing, food and clothing) Gender Theory Media, Art and Culture Parenting Poverty Prisons and Criminalization Race/Anti-Racism Social Movements White Supremacy Women of Colour Work, Poverty, and Class Abstract: Today's feminist movement has a glaring blind spot and, paradoxically, it is women. Mainstream feminists rarely discuss meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food security, access to quality education, safe neighbourhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. All too often, the focus is not on basic survival for the many; instead, it is on increasing privilege for the few. Prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall asks, when there is the district likelihood that some women are oppressing others? In this potent and electrifying critique of today's feminist movement, Mikki Kendall draws on her own experiences with hunger, violence, and hypersexualization, along with incisive commentary on politics, pop culture, the stigma of mental health, and more. Hood Feminism is a ferocious clarion call to all would-be feminists to live out the true mandate of the movement in thought and in deed.
