Description
Tereza never thought she would go bald before her boyfriend did. She couldn't imagine being unable to sweep her hair up in a ponytail or to style it in other ways. But when she lost all her hair in just a couple of months due to alopecia, her perspective on relationships and work--and above all, herself-- radically changed.
Navigating the particular trauma of female hair loss, Tereza comes to terms with her new reality with humor and self-reflection in this prize-winning graphic memoir featuring eye-catching art by Stěpánka Jislová.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Lighthearted yet insightful. . . . An adept portrayal of how looks are never just about looks."
--Publishers Weekly
"Bald is not an adventurous adventure. Or perhaps it is, or at least as adventurous as a princess in an ancient realm surrounded by dangers (and suitors), coming to realize herself, her destiny."
--Paul Buhle Comics Grinder
