From the back cover:

Women and the Comics is the first attempt to document the careers of the hundreds of women who have created and worked in the field of comic strips, comic books and cartooning.

The women whose work is showcased in this book have been long overlooked or ignored by most other histories of comics. In this volume you'll encounter the art of:

Rose O'Neill, whose Kewpies popularity spans over 70 years; Nell Brinkley, whose "Brinkley Girl' was just as famous in her day as Gibson's; Grace Drayton, whose lovely drawings gave the Campbell kids life; the "flapper' artists of the 1920s; Dale Messnick, creator of Brenda Starr; Martha Orr, who originated Mary Worth; the once anonymous female comic book artists of the 1940s; newspaper strip creators Matty Links (Bobby Sox), Cathy Guisewite (Cathy) and Lynn Johnston (For Better or For Worse); and the many women who write and draw today's most popular comic books. A special chapter surveying female cartoonists in Europe, Japan and Australia as also included.
