The Amazing Camel Toe

Claire Duplan

Constance, a modern, young illustrator, takes revenge for the thousands of attacks suffered daily by women with a comic of her own, titled The Amazing Camel Toe, celebrating the adventures of an anti-macho vigilante in tight, panther leggings: A hero who battles against sexism, harassment, slut-shaming, and unrealistic standards of beauty. A form of release that could materialize in a publishing deal for Constance... But in order for that to happen, the author, often full of doubt, must dare to assert herself more. Luckily, she's supported by her gang of girlfriends, her boyfriend, her favorite band, and not to mention Camel Toe herself: who says this comic-book bombshell can't exist in real life?

Gently provocative, cheerfully fierce, and borderline punk, Claire Duplan has a style and a tone all her own, overflowing with humor and energy.

Praise for this book

"...Camel Toe offers a jolt of old-school catharsis updated for the #MeToo era. It's a breezy option for nostalgic grrrl power fans." - Publishers Weekly

"The book does an excellent job of holding a mirror up to the sexism and micro-aggressions that women still continue to go through to this day, so in that instance, it's very much a surrealistic look at realistic experiences." - GurlCulture.com
