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.
