[ISLMA-Share] HS nonfiction graphic novel

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Relish: My Life in the Kitchen by Lucy Knisley is a pretty good one. There's some discussion of porn and menstruation, but I wouldn't call it inappropriate for high schoolers. Also the recipes are amazing.

Subject: [ISLMA-Share] HS nonfiction graphic novel

Hello all,
My English department is planning to teach the graphic novel Persepolis to sophomore classes, but they have concerns about some parents objecting to some of the language and the content. They've asked me to recommend another high school level graphic novel to use as a backup. The graphic novel must be:
1. nonfiction, preferably historical
2. have a strong female point of view
3. be appropriate for high school students.
Any ideas??
