Summary:

Monster in a Dress is a semi-autobiographical story about gender and identity. The title refers to how the artist and author Annie Weatherwax felt every time she had to wear a dress. The story reimagines her relationship with her immigrant family from Lebanon, it examines the trials and tribulations of intergenerational trauma and healing when a long buried family secret is brought to light and it pays homage to her grandmother, a powerful matriarch who saved her. Annie writes: "Kids are resilient, but it's difficult for some not to internalize the monstrous way the world sees them. I was one of those kids. If 'Monster in a Dress' can ease the struggle for just one person, it will have served its purpose."
