Alison Bechdel

Alison Bechdel’s cult following for her early comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For expanded wildly for her family memoirs, the New York Times bestselling and Time magazine #1 Book of the Year graphic memoir Fun Home, adapted into a Tony Award-winning musical. Are You My Mother? The Secret to Superman Strength was named a New York Times Best Graphic Novel of 2021. It is now followed by the recently published Spent: A Comic Novel. Among her many other honors, she has been a MacArthur Fellow.
