[MINI POD] The Monsters Were Never the Problem

from Feminist Book Club: The Podcast · host www.feministbookclub.com

MINI POD! In this quick episode, Jordy shares why she loves The Glass Scientists trilogy by S. H. Cotugno, a gothic graphic novel series where so-called monsters challenge the rigid systems built to control them. Through mad science, queer selfhood, and breathtaking art, this episode explores who gets labeled dangerous, who gets erased, and what happens when marginalized people refuse to stay hidden and start cracking institutions from the inside out.
