“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.
