"In addition to being an anthology of funny, poignant, and entertaining cartoons, Funny Ladies offers a unique examination of twentieth-century American history as it relates to women. Donnelly explores how, using cartoons as mirrors on society, it is easy to trace women's roles in society by seeing how these women voiced their opinions and expressed their concerns on key social issues of the time. Early innovators in the twenties and thirties, like Helen Hokinson and Barbara Shermund, depicted women as working and independent, yet by the fifties they, and other cartoonists, returned to perpetuating existent stereotypes of women. However, beginning with the second wave of feminism in the 1970s and continuing to the present, female cartoonists, like Roz Chast and Liza Donnelly, are no longer confined to "female" subject matter but rather are able to show the world around them in their own human voice."--BOOK JACKET.
