"Published in partnership with the Library of Congress, Drawn to Purpose: American
Women Illustrators and Cartoonists presents an overarching survey of women in American
illustration, from the late nineteenth into the twenty-first century. Martha H. Kennedy
brings special attention to forms that have heretofore received scant notice--cover
designs, editorial illustrations, and political cartoons--and reveals the contributions
of acclaimed cartoonists and illustrators, along with many whose work has been overlooked.
Featuring over 250 color illustrations, including eye-catching original art from the
collections of the Library of Congress, Drawn to Purpose provides insight into the
personal and professional experiences of eighty women who created these works. Included
are artists Roz Chast, Lynda Barry, Lynn Johnston, and Jillian Tamaki. The artists'
stories, shaped by their access to artistic training, the impact of marriage and children
on careers, and experiences of gender bias in the marketplace, serve as vivid reminders
of social change during a period in which the roles and interests of women broadened
from the private to the public sphere. The vast, often neglected, body of artistic
achievement by women remains an important part of our visual culture. The lives and
work of the women responsible for it merit much further attention than they have received
thus far. For readers who care about cartooning and illustration, Drawn to Purpose
provides valuable insight into this rich heritage."
