"First of all, I was struck by the attitude towards women, who are subjected to violence on a daily basis, an act that is so socially acceptable that it is somehow mentioned at the level of a footnote, as something that is not an event. Of course, this is a description of the patriarchal society of that time, but considering that even today's Western world has not fully achieved equality for women, I did not experience these details only as a historical curiosity. I was probably also influenced by the simultaneous competition of Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination in the American election campaign. Namely, some conservatives often accompanied this candidacy with comments such as that they would not have respect for a woman in the White House because her irritating voice would constantly remind them of their own wives who pester them to take out the trash. I thought about young people who encounter these stories, especially in a school context, and I wondered whether they would be sensitive to the same details, or would they simply experience it as something funny, imperceptible. I did not want to emphasize the treatment of women in the illustrations, at least not in a literal way, because I was afraid that the didactic nature of such a procedure would have the opposite effect. My position in this sense is expressed more by the lack of male heroes, or by the absurdity and fragmentation of their few manifestations.''
