Bathed in sources as diverse as Christine de Pizan's 1405 The Book of the City of Ladies, C.S. Lewis' Narnia series of the mid 20th c., Lauren Faust's 21st c My Little Pony reboot, Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian narrative figurines, luminous lesbian modernists, and so on, Treadwell's Penny Marvel & the book of the city of selfys is at once an interrogation and an integration of permeable and fraying narratives of feminine selfhood, to allow for the inherent sovereignty of every syllable and sybil.
