Mina: an over­achiev­ing exec­u­tive in her 50s is crush­ing meet­ings and mul­ti­task­ing like a pro — yet she’s con­stant­ly under­mined and ignored. That is, until one day hav­ing trans­formed into the super-hero­ine she always was, by a man­i­curist who invokes Gol­da Meir and oth­er super­heroes across the ages, she goes on a res­cue of kid­napped chil­dren. With noth­ing but a Tide Pod, a thong, and a hefty dose of hot flash­es, Mina, the super-hero­ine, goes on a mis­sion to save kids forced to do dan­ger­ous labor, van­quish the mas­ter­mind seek­ing world dom­i­na­tion, and reclaim the pow­er she deserves. This graph­ic nov­el is equal parts irrev­er­ent and empow­er­ing. A vibrant art piece, Holy Menopause flips the script on aging, cel­e­brat­ing women in the great tra­di­tion of Jew­ish super-heroines.
