About
Alison Bechdel is an American cartoonist. Originally best known for the long-running comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For, in 2006 she became a best-selling and critically acclaimed author with her graphic memoir Fun Home. Alison Bechdel was born in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania to Roman Catholic parents who were teachers. Bechdel's brother is keyboard player John Bechdel, who has worked with many bands including Ministry. Her family also owned and operated a funeral home. She attended Simon's Rock College and then Oberlin College, graduating in 1981. In February 2004, Bechdel married her partner since 1992, Amy Rubin, in a civil ceremony in San Francisco.
