ABOUT THE BOOK
Renegade Girls is a swoon-worthy queer romance set against a riveting story of social change in the 1880s. This historical graphic novel reimagines the life of America’s first stunt girl–a young undercover reporter–and her whirlwind summer of romance and fighting injustice. Based on real-life stunt girl Nell Nelson and photographer Alice Austen, this tenderly drawn narrative is about bringing buried stories to light and the bravery of first love.
