Descrizione
Ferris sets her story in 1968, when not only were many misogynistic underground comics published, but also movies like Romero's 'Night of the living dead'. She also points out that the history of the concentration camps has to be written repeatedly, especially since the topic of sexuality has been taboo for a long time and only received attention recently.
