Join cartooning powerhouse and Eisner winner Tillie Walden as she tours for her new book Charity and Sylvia, with stops in Chicago, Toronto, Boston, New York, and Montréal!

Charity Bryant and Sylvia Drake lived openly as a lesbian couple for 44 years in 19th century Vermont. The true, exceptional story of these remarkable women is brought to life with humor and passion by Walden. See America grow alongside these women over a period that brings about the railroad, many novels, 14 Presidents, riots, rebellion, plagues, and poetry. Walden’s graphic novelization of their shared life has already been selected by Vermont Humanities as part of their statewide reading program, Vermont Reads.
