“A Word to You Feminist Women”: The Parallel Legacies of Feminism and Underground Comics

Abstract

Would you like me to stop venting my rage on paper? Is that what you’d like me to do, all you selfrighteous, indignant females? All you poor persecuted downtrodden cunts? Would you rather I went out and raped twelveyearold girls? Would that be an improvement? Well, listen, you dumbassed broads, I’m gonna fucking well draw what I please to draw and if you don’t like it, fuck you! (Crumb 1971)
