Three Words: An Anthology of Aotearoa/NZ Women's Comics is a 2016 collection that was edited by Rae Joyce, Sarah Laing, and Indira Neville.
[2][3] Joyce stated that she wanted to create the collection after reading an anthology that was marketed as a history of New Zealand comics, only to feel that "it was representing the white male POV status quo rather than the reality of comics in NZ".
[2] She further commented that she hoped that Three Words would raise awareness for female comics from New Zealand, as she felt that they were under-represented.
[7] The book includes contributions from Beth Ducklingmonster, Jessica Hansell, Rosemary McLeod, and Susan Te Kahurangi King, and features essays by Robyn Kenealy, Rae Joyce, Ruth Boyask, Jem Yoshioka and Miriam Sapphira.
The editors welcomed submissions from women with all levels of experience in comics creation, and the finished work included established artists as well as newcomers to the field.
