Once upon a Time
Original title: Elle était une fois
Synopsis
Mélanie Body, feminism for young girls — L’Humanité
Her style does not resemble that of we come across more traditional comics. It’s fresh and angry , everything we need to attack the year in warrior mode. — Femme Actuelle
Once upon a Time… is history from a woman’s point of view and an attempt to write in a non-patriarchal, feminine way.
This is the history of the masculinization of the French language, the birth of our beloved French academy and its masculine tendency, and an interpretation of the birth of the egalitarian world, which finally ceased to be egalitarian with the gradual emergence of patriarchy. Mélanie Body includes in this graphic novel portraits of female warriors and discovers the epic story of our body with its worries and other concerns, but also of how it has blossomed over the years… and all with a feminine touch!
