The Wilkes University English Department will kick off the 2024 Allan Hamilton Dickson Spring Writers Series by hosting internationally beloved cartoonist Alison Bechdel.
For twenty-five years Alison self-syndicated Dykes to Watch Out For. The award-winning generational chronicle has been called “one of the pre-eminent oeuvres in the comics genre, period” by Ms. Magazine. From the strip was born the now famous “Bechdel Test,” which measures gender bias in film.
