A Groundbreaking Woman

<p>Yesterday,&nbsp;<em>New Yorker</em>&nbsp;cartoonist&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_E._Hokinson" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Helen Hokinson</a>&nbsp;was inducted into the Hall of Fame at the&nbsp;<a href="https://societyillustrators.org/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Society of Illustrators</a>&nbsp;in New York City. My husband, cartoonist Michael Maslin, and I attended the lively celebration along with many wonderful artists we know. Michael wrote about it&nbsp;<a href="https://michaelmaslin.com/weekend-spill-helen-hokinson-inducted-into-society-of-illustrators-hall-of-fame/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>, in his blog Inkspill.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/0*vrvj-Rn4FEuzp0Vm.jpeg" style="height:475px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Since she had no living relatives, the Society of Illustrators asked if I would accept the award for her, and of course I said yes. It was a great honor.</p> <p><a href="https://lizadonnelly.medium.com/a-groundbreaking-woman-e947ab3b817f"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
