The book cover of Spider-Mother: The Fiction and Politics of Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain. The cover is divided between an artwork by Chitra Ganesh above, titled Event Horizon, which is made up of a female cyborg-like super-hero figure appearing to fly through a net or geographic division of space, while another female-presenting figure looks up at her in wonder. The cover is black and white, with a yellowish color used in place of the white. Below the artwork, you see the names of the editors, Ben Baer and Smaran Dayal, listed, as well as the artist Chitra Ganesh.
