For many years, the world of cartoons and comics was seen as a male preserve. The
reality is that women have been drawing and publishing cartoons for longer than most
people realise. In the early 1760s, Mary Darly illustrated, wrote and published the
first book on caricature drawing published in England, A Book of Caricaturas. In the
nineteenth century, Britain's first comic character, Ally Sloper, was developed by
the actress and cartoonist Marie Duval (1847-1890). Cartoons were used by the suffragettes,
and, during the Great War, artists such as Flora White and Agnes Richardson produced
light-hearted propaganda comic postcards.; From the 1920s, a few women cartoonists
began to appear regularly in newspapers. The practice was for artists to sign with
their surname, so most readers were unaware of the cartoonist's gender. In 1920, Mary
Tourtel created Rupert Bear for the Daily Express, and nearly a hundred years later
her character is still going strong. From the 1960s, feminism inspired cartoonists
to question the roles assigned to them and address subjects such as patriarchy, equal
rights, sexuality and child rearing, previously unseen in cartoons. Over the last
thirty years, women have come increasingly to the fore in comics, zines and particularly
graphic novels; This wide-ranging curation of women's comics work includes prints,
caricatures, joke, editorial and strip cartoons, postcards, comics, zines, graphic
novels and digital comics, covering all genres and topics. It addresses inclusion
of art by women of underrepresented backgrounds. Based on an exhibition of the same
name, held at the Cartoon Museum in 2017, this book demonstrates that women have always
had a wicked sense of humour and a perceptive view of the world
