This is why I love reading books about the experience of other people.

I had no idea the love/hate relationship women have with their hair.

Okay - I had an idea. I know women.

But when you aren't a member of a group, you don't know what the experience is like. That's why I like books like this. 

It gives you much more depth of experience - to hear women talk about their hair, their experiences, and their love/hate relationship with it. 

But it's much deeper than that - much, much deeper. 

It's about women's relationship with society and culture. It gets into a ton of stuff - like gender roles, sexism, self-esteem. 

It's that kind of understanding I like. 

Plus, the book is well-done, funny, and enjoyable! 

Take a look.

I backed this comic on kickstarter and then completely forgot about it. I was happily surprised when the small, charming volume arrived in the mail! It contains 13 stories by Australian comics artists about body hair and its social stigmas. Some standouts were "Hair Suit" by Sarah Catherine Firth, "Resplendent" by Alex E Clark and "Memento" by Ele Jenkins.

It always feels impossible to give 5 stars to an anthology but this came close for me, probably mostly because of the subject matter. Talk to me all day about hair, babeyyyyy. There are some beauties in here.
