Growing up, Prince wasn\'t a girly girl. -- Journal.
From staunchly refuting girliness to the point of misogyny, to discovering through the punk community that your identity is whatever you make of it, Tomboy offers a sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking account of self-discovery in modern America.
Tomboy follows award-winning author and artist Liz Prince through her early years and explores--with humor, honesty, and poignancy--what it means to be a girl.
But with the forces of middle school, high school, parents, friendship, and romance pulling her this way and that, the middle wasn\'t an easy place to be.
She was somewhere in between.
Growing up, Liz Prince wasn\'t a girly girl, but she wasn\'t exactly one of the guys either (as she learned when her little league baseball coach exiled her to the distant outfield).
This Graphic Memoir follows Prince through her early childhood into adulthood and explores her ever-evolving struggles and wishes regarding what it means to be a girl.
But she wasn\'t exactly one of the guys either.
