Woman's World is the title of a 2005 novel by Graham Rawle. It is unique for having been created entirely from fragments of text clipped from 1960s women's magazines.
The book describes itself (in its subtitle) as "a graphic novel", but anyone expecting a graphic novel in the comic book tradition will be surprised: the novel is a graphic novel in the sense that it has been constructed visually from cutouts of various '60s women's magazines. The medium of the novel creates different layers of meaning within the plot, leading to insightful, hilarious, and often heartbreaking moments.
