We Shall Fight Until We Win.
Another blog, another big announcement! We're bloody chuffed to be working with our pals at BHP Comics to release the graphic novel anthology We Shall Fight Until We Win, in celebration of the centenary of the first wave of women gaining the right to vote in the UK, and the many pioneering women who have been, and are part of the ongoing fight.
From suffragettes like Emmeline Pankhurst and Sophia Duleep Singh, through the ‘firsts’ in politics like Nancy Astor, the first female member of Parliament to take her seat, and Diane Abbott, the first black woman to hold a seat in the House of Commons, to many of the women heading up politics today, this graphic novel tells their stories - some well-known, some less so - by a mix of contributors to celebrate the landmark and achievements of many incredible women.
We are still compiling their list of contributors and are open to submissions from comic creators. Submissions of example work can be sent to subs@bhpcomics.com
We Shall Fight Until We Win publishes in June 2018. Pre-orders for the project will be launched on Kickstarter in January 2018. You can follow @404ink and @bhp_comics on Twitter for the latest.
