But, you might not know that reading most of the comics histories out there. Trina Robbins has spent the last thirty years recording the accomplishments of a century of women cartoonists, and \u003ci\u003ePretty in Ink\u003c\/i\u003e is her ultimate book, a revised, updated and rewritten history of women cartoonists, with more color illustrations than ever before, and with some startling new discoveries (such as a Native American woman cartoonist from the 1940s who was also a Corporal in the women’s army, and the revelation that a cartoonist included in all of Robbins’s previous histories was a man!) In the pages of \u003ci\u003ePretty in Ink\u003c\/i\u003e you’ll find new photos and correspondence from cartoonists Ethel Hays and Edwina Dumm, and the true story of Golden Age comic book star Lily Renee, as intriguing as the comics she drew. Although the comics profession was dominated by men, there were far more women working in the profession throughout the 20th century than other histories indicate, and they have flourished in the 21st. Robbins not only documents the increasing relevance of women throughout the 20th century, with mainstream creators such as Ramona Fradon and Dale Messick and alternative cartoonists such as Lynda Barry, Carol Tyler, and Phoebe Gloeckner, but the latest generation of women cartoonists—Megan Kelso, Cathy Malkasian, Linda Medley, and Lilli Carré, among many others. Robbins is the preeminent historian of women comic artists; forget her previous histories: \u003ci\u003ePretty in Ink\u003c\/i\u003e is her most comprehensive volume to date.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eComics \u003ci\u003eher\u003c\/i\u003estorian \u003cb\u003eTrina Robbins\u003c\/b\u003e (1939-2024) was an American cartoonist. She was an early participant and one of the first women in the underground comix movement. She co-produced the 1970 underground comic \u003ci\u003eIt Ain't Me, Babe\u003c\/i\u003e, which was the first comic book entirely created by women. She co-founded the \u003ci\u003eWimmen's Comix\u003c\/i\u003e collective, wrote for \u003ci\u003eWonder Woman\u003c\/i\u003e, and produced adaptations of \u003ci\u003eDope\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Silver Metal Lover\u003c\/i\u003e. She was inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame in 2013 and received Eisner Awards in 2017 and 2021. As a scholar and historian, Robbins researched the history of women in cartooning.
