Summary:
"An updated history of
women
cartoonists
, with more color illustrations than ever before, and with some startling new discoveries (such as a Native
American
woman cartoonist from the 1940s who was also a Corporal in the
women
's army, and the revelation that a cartoonist included in all of Robbins's previous histories was a man!) You'll find new photos and correspondence from
cartoonists
Ethel Hays and Edwina Dumm, and the true story of Golden Age comic book star Lily Renee, as intriguing as the comics she drew. Although the comics profession was dominated by men, there were far more
women
working in the profession throughout the 20th century than other histories indicate, and they have flourished in the 21st. The increasing relevance of
women
throughout the 20th century, with mainstream creators such as Ramona Fradon and Dale Messick and alternative
cartoonists
such as Lynda Barry, Carol Tyler, and Phoebe Gloeckner, and the latest generation of
women
cartoonists-Megan Kelso, Cathy Malkasian, Linda Medley, and Lilli Carre. Underground cartoonist Trina Robbins has been writing graphic novels, comics, and books for more than thirty years. Her subjects have ranged from Wonder Woman and The Powerpuff Girls to her own teenage superheroine, GoGirl!, and from
women
cartoonists
and superheroines to
women
who kill. She lives in San Francisco"--Provided by publisher.
