Ducks by Kate Beaton (2022) Drawn & Quarterly
A graphic autobiography of the years when a college graduate,
unable to find a job to pay off her student loans turned to the Oil Sands of
Alberta to make money in clerical jobs.
It covers the horrors of abusive harassment and rape prevalent not only
to the girls working there, but the First Nation women too. Take a camp of 95% men, add a few young, naïve
women and working organizations that turn their eyes away and this is the
result. I hope her book gets the
attention of those who can make a difference.
