Comic Fest will feature a presentation of the forthcoming graphic novel, *Lo! An Amazon! With Mary and Bryan Talbot*. The work explores the interesting narrative of the life of Mary Wollstonecraft. This event is scheduled to take place in the Carpenter Room at Sheffield Central Library on 29 August 2026. Entry to the festival will be free.
Bryan and Mary Talbot present their forthcoming graphic novel: Lo! An Amazon! The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Mary Wollstonecraft.
In the Age of Revolutions demanding greater liberties for mankind, Mary Wollstonecraft spoke out for the other “one-half of the human race”: that of womankind. In 1792, her manifesto, Vindication of the Rights of Woman, took the world by storm: “It is time to effect a revolution in female manners – time to restore to them their dignity”.
Forthright and fearless, she mingled with other radical thinkers of her time and travelled widely, including to Paris, alone – into the Reign of Terror.
Suitable for ages 18+
Juno Books will be selling copies of Mary and Bryan's graphic novels for signing at the event.
