A History of Women Cartoonists

A global history of women's contributions to the world of cartooning. Mira Falardeau explores the work and experiences of great women artists in this heavily illustrated volume. Decades of research reveal advice and positive encouragement for future cartoonists. The book asks serious questions about the underrepresentation of women in visual humor and whether the digital age is opening more opportunities for female humorists.

Falardeau, a specialist in visual humor and a former cartoonist herself, offers a unique perspective. A History of Women Cartoonists provides a global survey and analysis of women cartoonists over the last three decades. Discover the challenges they faced, the stereotypes they combatted, and the cultural revolutions they helped shape. This is a welcome addition to the history of comics and cartoons for those interested in art history, women's studies, and cultural analysis.
