Growing up, Liz Prince wasn\'t a girly girl, dressing in pink tutus or playing Pretty Pretty princess like the other girls in her neighborhood.
A Memoir told anecdotally, Tomboy follows author and zine artist Liz Prince through her early childhood into adulthood and explores her ever-evolving struggles and wishes regarding what it means to "be a girl."From staunchly refuting anything she perceived as being "girly" to the point of misogyny, to discovering through the punk community that your identity is whatever you make of it, regardless of your gender, Tomboy is as much humorous and honest as it is at points uncomfortable and heartbreaking..
Tomboy is a Graphic novel about refusing gender boundaries, yet unwittingly embracing gender stereotypes at the same time, and realizing later in life that you can be just as much of a girl in jeans and a T-shirt as you can in a pink tutu.
Liz was somewhere in the middle, and Tomboy is the story of her struggle to find the place where she belonged.
But she wasn\'t exactly one of the guys either, as she quickly learned when her Little League baseball coach exiled her to the outfield instead of letting her take the pitcher\'s mound.
