 Abstract: 
				»In Stories from the Australian Movement: #MeToo(2019b), thirty-five women reflect on Australia’s #MeToo movement. Focusing on Sarah Firth’s “Start Where You Are,” the anthology’s only comics, this paper examines the role of visual texts in articulating #MeToo testimony and their place within broader contexts of cultural production in Australia.«
