Publisher's Synopsis
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 decades - a welcome addition to the history of comics and cartoonists. It fill a huge hole and expands our understanding of art and women studies Mira Falardeau looks at the work of great women artists around the world and their experiences, mainly difficult, to reveal advice and positive encouragement for future cartoonists. She has collected illustrations and cartoons and artwork from many of the very best and important artists and illustrators. She asks serious questions about why there have been so few women cartoonists in the field of visual humour and if the digital age is opening more opportunities for female humorists.
