tomboy is an engaging, well-written graphic memoir, 鈥媌ut it does not examine gender with any depth! i was hoping for more nuance, but it remains a straightforward memoir.

one thing do i appreciate is liz's belated realization about her internalized misogyny. since she grows up feeling different from other girls, she resents femininity and the girls around her. it takes an adult mentor to help her realize that she hates the gender expectations placed on women, not women themselves. but there is so much more that could be explored, and there's very little complexity here.

and it's kinda yikes that she resents frequently being mistaken for a lesbian, but doesn't seem to have any awareness of her hetero privilege, and doesn't really address lgbt+ identities!
