mybookworldtour 's review for:

Prins Charles känsla by Liv Strömquist
4.0

In a series of sarcastic and funny comics, Liv Strömquist talks about gender norms and stereotypes and how people are impacted by a hetero normative and patriarchal society. All while trying to answer "what is love?".

Approaching this question from the historical, sociological, and political perspectives, Strömquist uses pop culture references (US & UK mainly) as case studies to illustrate her analysis based on renowned academics in these fields. The book also includes several mentions of Swedish and Nordic culture, which I very much appreciated.
