I have remastered one of my favorite Mayara comics, celebrating one of my great influences and inspirations.

I love that one of the great feminist writers, who wrote Room of One’s Own and Orlando amongst other delights, has such an answer for what is a woman.

Onwards to adventures and explorations, to the multitudes of verbs inside a seemingly simple not so simple noun.

It is a noun that has plenty of room and curiosity to fit trans and cis women, for non-binary and intersex folks who feel that this is noun that has meaning for them.

Happy International Women’s Day, who is a woman that inspires you?
