Alison Bechdel is known for her pioneering comic strips Dykes to Watch Out For and the modern classics Fun Home (as well as the Tony-Award winning musical adaptation), Are You My Mother?, and The Secret to Superhuman Strength. But her acclaim doesn’t stop there — her last name is synonymous with the “Bechdel Test,” a way to assess how women are portrayed in media. Join us as she explores her newest work of autofiction, Spent: A Comic Novel, which makes the case for seizing what’s true about life at this moment, before it’s too late.
