The artist often focuses on the expectations modern women face, from marriage and motherhood to body image and the feeling of never quite measuring up. Molnar, who started drawing illustrations at 31, has used her own life as a starting point, then widened the lens to show how many women end up carrying the same weight.

Her latest comics make that frustration easy to see, one panel at a time.

Molnar says that we all think we don’t belong, that we are behind, or that we have flaws in one way or another, and this keeps our development and potential under siege. Molnar continues to say that she fights "for the acceptance of everyone’s unapologetic selves, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone, why should we hide or change who we are?"
