The award-winning comics historian brings the jazz age to vivid life in this showcase of six dazzling female cartoonists.-- "The Guardian"
Women can draw anything. But in the 1920s, newspapers hired (and even sought out) female cartoonists to draw comic strips about flappers. In The Flapper Queens, herstorian Trina Robbins showcases six of those artists in a coffee table book. ... As a way of bringing more exposure to these artists, this book is tops.-- "Comicon"
