Reviews

"Malle distills complicated feminist theory into easy-to-understand explanations without ever talking down to readers."—Quill and Quire

"The year’s most important child-friendly comic about feminist theory... The League Of Super Feminists is a sharp, smart and funny tour through the ideas that underpin feminism... [that] makes decades of sociological theory not merely accessible, but compelling, which Malle ascribes to her desire to get around the loftier language of university departments, and convey instead the simple truths of lived experience."
—The Irish Times

"What I appreciate most is that the way Mirion explains feminism is that it’s like being a good friend and a kind member of society; that feminism is respect for women."—Youth Services Book Review

"Using a Socratic question-and-answer format, women dressed as superheroes speak, informally, with wit and brevity, to a young audience about consent, different forms of privilege and misogyny. It arms readers with tools to analyze culture..."—The Globe & Mail

"In The League of Super Feminists, Mirioin Malle discusses representation in media in regards to what woman are seeing about themselves, breaking down the potential harm of seeing the same stories over and over."
—Newmarket Today

"A clear, smart, and direct effort to talk about what feminism is in a way that even small folks can understand."
—The Comics Journal

"Change is coming. And a lot of people in our society may feel that it’s flipping their world upside down but this change is necessary and Mirion Malle has captured just the right balance in her fun and highly informative new book."—Popzara

"Malle gets the conversation started and guides readers through some of the central tenets of feminism in a clear, engaging way that gives readers the tools needed to do their own critical thinking."—Books 4 Your Kids

"The League of Super Feminists serves as a veritable primer on feminism itself... [It] does well as an introduction for anyone onto the many topics discussed or even a textbook in a course on understanding."
—BlogCritics

"The League of Super Feminists is the sort of book one wishes could be put in every reader’s hands. After all, we could all use refreshers on a lot of this stuff, and Malle argues in such a straightforward, commonsensical manner that when you read about the importance of using inclusive language or representation in media, for example, it makes one wonder how anyone can fight against such feminist ideas in the first place, given that they seem less “feminist” than simply 'right'…"—School Library Journal

"Malle does an exemplary job encouraging readers to question norms and consider what society would look like if everyone, regardless of gender, race, and ability, were treated equally... Readers of The League of Super Feminists will be well-armed with the questions and tools necessary to challenge and change the world for the better!"—Canadian Review of Materials
