History of Women Cartoonists

"Mira Falardeau looks at the work of great women artists and their experiences in the industry to reveal advice and positive encouragement for future cartoonists. Illustrated with cartoons and artwork from many of the best in the field, the book also asks serious questions about why there have been so few women cartoonists in the field of visual humor and if the digital age is opening more opportunities for female humorists. Falardeau has spent decades as an art historian, a specialist in visual humor, and the author of several books and essays on cartoonists and their history. A History of Women Cartoonists is the first book to offer a truly global survey and analysis of the great women cartoonists of the last three decades."
