This review analyses the Ibero-American anthology Coordenadas Gráficas: Cuarenta Historietas de Autoras de España, Argentina, Chile y Costa Rica (Graphic Coordinates: Forty Comics by Women Authors from Spain, Argentina, Chile and Costa Rica), published in 2020 in open digital access by a team of curators under the Ventana programme of the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation. It outlines the essential characteristics of these comics and the introductory articles for the four sections. It examines their structure and explores their thematic, stylistic, and ideological aspects by following the path laid out by the selected works. It highlights the anthology's portrayal of women's historical contributions from recent decades to the present and its role in raising awareness about the challenges various women authors have encountered and addressed over 40 years. Although this work is organised by country and thus delves into each context, each section offers an intersectional and intergenerational perspective. Ultimately, this review represents an inclusive platform for women comic authors, fostering their growth and presenting future proposals to challenge heteronormative patriarchy.

Keywords : anthology; women authors; comics; Ibero-America; feminism.
