Memory Spaces: Visualizing Identity in Jewish Womens Graphic Narratives Aarons Victoria
An exploration of the work of Jewish women graphic novelists and the intricate Jewish identity is complicated by gender, memory, generation, and place-that is, the emotional, geographical, and psychological spaces that women inhabit.

Victoria Aarons argues that Jewish women graphic novelists are preoccupied with embodied memory: the way the body materializes memory.
In the chapters that follow, Aarons relates the Aarons explores Jewish identity, diaspora, mourning, memory, and witness in the works of Sarah Lightman, Liana Finck, Anya Ulinich, Leela Corman, and more.Memory Spaces begins by framing this research within contemporary discourse and reflects upon the choice to explore Jewish women graphic novelists specifically.
