Description: This educational zine collages text blocks and grayscale photographs against red ink drawings to tell the story of Dilma Rousseff’s impeachment from the Brazilian Presidential office. The author, a Barnard first year student, notes parallels between the trajectory of her career to the Armenian folk-tale “The Wicked Stepmother;” they chronicle Dilma’s public image throughout her presidential terms using violent tweets and sexist memes admonishing her as a witch, revealing the nation’s expectation of women.
