Women's comics historian Robbins (affiliation not cited) examines the life and work of Nell Brinkley (1886-1944), whose art and commentary ran in American newspapers from 1907 through the 1930s. As early as 1913, Brinkley was drawing working women and using her art to encourage decent pay, pensions, and housing for women working for the war effort. Coverage includes Brinkley's rise to popularity, the innocent sexuality of her "Brinkley girls," her line drawings, and the Betty and Billy series. Annotation c.
