“Your ex-girlfriend is dead” is a graphic book<br />

divided in two parts. The first presents a<br />

straightforward timeline of feminism in the<br />

United States that looks into sexism, the<br />

patriarchy and the objectification of women.<br />

The second part tells the story of women<br />

who have been idolized by the media and<br />

had their lives destroyed by the consequences<br />

of objectification. Hopefully, by tearing the<br />

beauty down and telling their real tragic stories,<br />

the viewer will see those women as human<br />

beings rather than icons. This is important<br />

since the objectification and degradation that<br />

stems from idolization reflects the way society<br />

views all women.
