Beyond the Domestic
Over coffee with a friend, Elly Patterson, the central character of Lynn Johnston's comic shares aspirations beyond her domestic roles. Ensuing episodes chronicle her venturing outside her home to work in the town library and the local bookstore, which she eventually co-owns. Largely through Elly's voice, Johnston projects a strong female character's perspective on family life and her development as an individual who, like Johnston's other engaging characters, ages in real time. |
