Fruit of Knowledge: the Vulva vs. the Patriarchy #[nn]

Liv Strömquist's Fruit of Knowledge: The Vulva vs. the Patriarchy arrives from Virago in 2018 as a sharp, thought-provoking graphic work tackling the history of how female sexuality has been shaped and policed. The cover features a striking black-and-white photograph of a figure seated on a bench, head bowed and wild hair falling forward — a quietly arresting image that sets a contemplative, defiant tone. At £14.99, it's an accessible entry point into Strömquist's acclaimed blend of cultural critique and comics storytelling.
