In celebration of Women’s History Month, we were thrilled to interview cartoonist and author, Liza Donnelly, whom we are honored to collaborate with each month at ShePlace! During our lunch hour, we got to hear Liza speak about her recent book, Very Funny Ladies: The New Yorker’s Women Cartoonists. The book is a history of the women artists and their work from 1925-2021, and includes analysis of the cultural environment for female comedic voices from early 1900's to the present day.

"An anthology of funny, poignant, and entertaining cartoons, biographical sketches, and social history all in one, Very Funny Ladies offers a unique slant on 20th-century and early 21st-century America through the humorous perspectives of the talented women who have captured in pictures and captions many of the key social issues of their time.”
