WW was in part inspired by the Women’s March of 2017 where the creator was inspired by all the lovely people around her on what she remembers to be a wonderful and empowering day. “Ultimately, the problems that the characters in Woman World face are designed to show that as people, we’re all the same,” says the Los Angeles-based comic writer and artist. There exists this idea that feminists are women who hate men and want to live without them – so Dhaliwal ran with the idea in a dystopian future. Through the Woman World comics, Aminder endeavoured to take a lighthearted approach to feminism. She loves that Gene Roddenberry intentionally filled the bridge of the Enterprise with a multicultural cast in Star Trek – because it’s important to represent different kinds of women. Aminder Dhaliwal wanted to make this a beautiful world where everyone supports each other. And even then, the world of WW is intersectional and inclusive – Grandma Ulaana identifies as a trans person, Mayor Gaia is a Nudist, Layla has a physical disability, Yumi is a blacksmith, Lara is a carpenter, Ina is an artist and poet who can do mad pull-ups, the Doctor has had a mastectomy. Dhaliwal’s sci-fi comedy comic series Woman World ( WW ) is an Instagram phenomenon about a group of women that gab and hang out in a post-apocalyptic future where men are extinct due to a birth defect and the survival of humanity is at stake.
