The Rickard Sisters
Sophie and Scarlett Rickard are sisters who make graphic novels. Sophie does the words and Scarlett draws the pictures. 

In Autumn 2022 they brought out No Surrender, with SelfMadeHero. This book is a graphic adaptation of Constance Maud’s suffrage classic, and is like a sister for their previous book, the Eisner-nominated The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists (also with SMH). Written in the same era (the 1910s), the book is another piece of authentic fiction written by a marginalised person about their experiences. Where The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists is about being poor in a system designed by and for the rich, No Surrender is all about being female in a world designed by and for men.
