Description: Printmaker Kinoko Evans lists her favorite female role models and shares a comic about a ten-year-old-girl who is determined to defeat a dragon. There are adventurous girls, magical girls, female villains, fighter girls, and big sisters. Among the figures cited are the Wicked Witch of the West, Princess Leia, Matilda, and Pai Chan. Evans also writes about her love for Winona Ryder's earliest roles (Lydia from Beetlejuice and Veronica from The Heathers) as well as cool girls she admired. Visual elements also include black and white cartoon illustrations of the characters mentioned throughout the zine. The cover is a group of four female cartoon characters in various outfits posing together.
