These eight anthologies feature Alison Bechdel’s work alongside other cartoonists and writers. The earliest, Women’s Glib (1991), collects humor writing by women, while Kitty Libber (1992) gathers cat-themed cartoons. Bechdel’s contributions to these collections came during the same period she was producing Dykes to Watch Out For.
The Best American Comics annuals for 2007, 2008, and 2011 placed Bechdel’s work in the context of the broader American comics scene. No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics (2012) collected her alongside other LGBTQ+ cartoonists in a historical survey of the genre. The Juicy Mother anthologies (2004, 2007) focused on celebration and relationships, with Bechdel contributing to both volumes.
