Through the intersections and juxtapositions of word and image, authors capture the complexities and anxieties of gender and Jewishness in navigating memory, identity, and embodied self-expression. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJewish women graphic novelists are preoccupied often with embodied memory, memories of loss, memories of personal and collective histories, and memories of transformative moments of self-reinvention. Here, memory materializes in the drawn shape of the body as an expression of the weight of personal and collective histories. The innovative and fluid conventions of graphic narrative panels, gutters, spaces of separation, bleeds, and juxtapositions of text and image embody the self. The diverse forms and structures of graphic narratives discussed in this volume by a range of international scholars demonstrate the ways in which Jewish women's graphic narratives reach into the past by way of stories and histories, both individual and collective, that provide a touchstone for the shape of identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Victoria Aarons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814349129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814349120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wayne State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs","brand":"Victoria Aarons","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46451199246591,"sku":"9780814349120","price":92.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d86fe79-2224-4f3b-b3da-6088ca4242e5.jpg?v=1735876752","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-storys-not-over-victoria-aarons-9780814349120","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
