FUN HOME creator to speak at Dickenson College

From the College's website:

Tuesday
Mar. 4
7:30 PM Award-winning cartoonist and author
Keynote speaker will be Alison Bechdel, author of the critically-acclaimed "Fun Home" and the syndicated comic strip "Dykes to Watch Out For (DTWOF)." Bechdel has become a cultural institution for lesbians and discerning non-lesbians. At the podium, Bechdel redefines race and gender roles while taking aim at some of the most controversial topics of the day. Bechdel grew up in rural Pennsylvania and, after graduating from Oberlin College, moved to New York, where she began drawing "Dykes to Watch Out For" as a feature in the feminist monthly Womanews in 1983. Four of her books won Lambda Literary Awards for Humor and "The Indelible Alison Bechdel" won a Lambda Literary Award in the biography/autobiography category. Utne magazine has listed DTWOF as “one of the greatest hits of the 20th-century.” Sponsored by the English, American studies and women's studies departments and the Dean of the College.
