There will be multiple short stories, &#8220;how to&#8221;s &amp; interviews with professionals, and features showcasing iconic female comic creators that have passed, such as Nell Brinkley and Tarpe Mills. A Kids &amp; Teens section will also be included, showcasing their work, and offering tips &amp; tricks to help them prepare themselves for their future careers in comics. Overall, this is pretty much a huge book showcasing what women in comics have accomplished, and what we are capable of \ud83d\ude42 We are also hoping that by doing this book, it will encourage a new generation of women to pick up the pencil and create!<\/p>\n<p>Part of what&#8217;s special about Womanthology is its equal opportunity aspects. Big- name professionals like Gail Simone are paired up with new and upcoming talent to promote opportunity and chances for those newcomers to learn, and give them a stage to show what they can do. For instance, Gail will be paired up with extraordinary new artist Jean Kang! Or for, another example, legendary artist Camilla d&#8217;Errico will be paired up with up and coming writer Raven Moore! Check out the Womanthology site for more exciting team ups!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This project is huge in scope and the rewards for Kickstarter backers are pee-your-pants exciting. We\u2019re going to have some representatives from the project on the podcast some yet-to-be-determined time in the future, but the Kickstarter project ends on August 7, so we wanted to give you a chance to get your pledge in before it\u2019s too late!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-official sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/?p=4117\" data-text=\"Super Women\"  >Tweet<\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><div class=\"fb-share-button\" data-href=\"http:\/\/scifisaturdaynight.com\/?p=4117\" data-layout=\"button_count\"><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><div class=\"pinterest_button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fscifisaturdaynight.com%2F%3Fp%3D4117&#038;media=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2F42248ed2a14add37660e9037700fe744%3Fs%3D96%26d%3Dmm%26r%3Dpg&#038;description=Super%20Women\" data-pin-do=\"buttonPin\" data-pin-config=\"beside\"><img src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Longtime readers and listeners will know that we here at SFSN love to see women involved in geeky things.
