dc.description.abstract	This thesis focusses on patriarchal power structures portrayed in the dystopian comic Bitch Planet. Bitch Planet is an unapologetic intersectional feminist comic which situates within the genre of grindhouse. This genre often focusses on the male gaze in the shower scene, which Bitch Planet uses to expose the associated power structures, through the portrayal of the body. I intent to show that the medium of comics could be used for feminist practices.
