"“W the Whore is a succession of comics formed out of disconnection and rupture. Its creators came together from opposite sides of the Berlin Wall’s rubble, and the resulting nine stories concern the violent confusion enacted on women’s bodies by patriarchy, the labyrinthine structures women are placed within under patriarchy’s chilling shadow, and the mounting contradictions enacted upon women deemed to be whores.” —Helen Chazan, The Comics Journal ""[P]oetic and dreamlike collection of graphic parables."" —Publishers Weekly"
