Summary:

Tereza never imagined she’d go bald before
her boyfriend or miss the feeling of a ponytail
brushing her back. She certainly didn’t expect
strangers to assume she was undergoing
chemotherapy and offer their support. But
when she lost all her hair within months due
to alopecia, an autoimmune disease, she had to
come to terms with a new appearance, a sense
of lost femininity, and the world of wigs. This
experience reshaped her view of relationships,
of work, and of herself.

In this candid, humorous account of her first
year with alopecia, Tereza captures both
moments of struggle and resilience. With
Štěpánka Jislová’s distinctive illustrations,
this work continues the rich tradition of
autobiographical comics.
