This digs into the lives of figures such as Juliette Gordon Low, Bell Hooks, Bessie Coleman, Sally Ride, and more. It features folks from the arts, sciences, activism, politics, social work, and generally rad. Plus, it features fun facts and humorous insights from the Lumberjanes themselves.
Jeanine Schaefer, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios says:
What better way to celebrate the Lumberjanes than to put the spotlight on the role models who best embody the spirit of the camp and its residents. Lumberjanes of all ages can dive deep into the exciting lives and accomplishments of real life heroes who have inspired hardcore lady-types everywhere!
