This books is about cartoonists, and only cartoonists. Women writers are only mentioned when they've worked with a woman cartoonist. Also, this book is a history of women cartoonists.

The comics are the best part of the book. I wish there was more substance to the text. I feel I haven't learned all the much about the artists behind the comics. The ending chapter on the current (as of 1992) state of women in the industry was interesting. I did a quick survey of men and women currently doing comic strips and of the group I looked at, men seem to out number women 6 to 1.
