Women In the Industry

Today narratives have been written by a wide array of genders, races, and ages, but believe it or not, it used to be just men. Due to the past World Wars requiring more troops and drafting in many of the males who were citizens, women began taking the main role in many jobs that were normally classified for men only, such as writing of narratives, comics, and newspaper articles. From here, changes slowly began to be made, and women began to become opened to the graphic narrative industry. The Imposter's Daughter, by Laurie Dandell is one of many narratives to have come from those years of freedom to write and draw. Essentially the story is based on a girl who investigates a rather shady past of her father, and from it she discovers many lies and truths that of which she was subjected to of his life and her involvement. Essentially this paved the way to prove that women could also be capable of writing and developing graphic narratives, and since there was no opposition, they were free to make as much as they wanted, since there were so many open positions. From here upon the end of the wars, the returned soldiers began to accept this and allow for their involvement.
