#bechtel test

Webs comics that had a very strong influence on the internet.

If the Bechtel Test applied to books, how many books from the Redwall series would pass the test? (For those who don't know, the Bechtel Test is super easy. All a movie, or book, has to have to pass is 1) two named female characters, 2) who have a conversation with each other, 3) about something other than a male.) There's actually a lot of movies that don't pass, so I can't help but wonder how Redwall holds up. I'll start it off... Taggerung: passes with flying colors thanks to Mhera, Cregga, Fwirl, and Filorn.

Alison Bechdel (born September 10, 1960) is an Americancartoonist. Originally best known for the long-running comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For, she came to critical and commercial success in 2006 with her graphic memoir Fun Home, which was subsequently adapted as amusical which won a Tony Award for Best Musical in 2015. She is a 2014 recipient of the MacArthur "Genius" Award. She is also known for the Bechdel test, an indicator of gender bias in film. She began Dykes to Watch Out For as a single drawing labeled "Marianne, dissatisfied with the morning brew: Dykes to Watch Out For, plate no. 27". An acquaintance recommended she send her work toWomaNews, a feminist newspaper, which published her first work in its June 1983 issue. Bechdel gradually moved from her early single-panel drawings to multi-paneled strips. Dykes to Watch Out For began this process, developing into a series of posters and postcards, allowing for people to have a look into the urban lesbian community. After a year, other outlets began running the strip. In the first years, Dykes to Watch Out Forconsisted of unconnected strips without a regular cast or serialized storyline. However, its structure eventually evolved into a focus on following a set group of lesbiancharacters. In 1986 Firebrand Books published a collection of the strips to date. In 1987 Bechdel introduced her regular characters, Mo and her friends, while living inSt. Paul, Minnesota. Dykes to Watch Out For is the origin of the "Bechdel test," which has become a frequently used metric in cultural discussion of film. In 1988, she began a short-lived page-length strip about the staff of a queer newspaper, titled "Servants to the Cause", for The Advocate. Bechdel has also written and drawn autobiographical strips and has done illustrations for magazines and websites. She became a full-time cartoonist in 1990 and later moved near Burlington, Vermont. She currently resides in Bolton, Vermont. In 2012, Bechdel was a Mellon Residential Fellow for Arts and Practice at the Richard and Mary L. Gray Center at theUniversity of Chicago and co-taught "Lines of Transmission: Comics & Autobiography" with Professor Hillary Chute. In November 2006 Bechdel was invited to sit on the Usage Panel of the American Heritage Dictionary. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alison_Bechdel#/search
