Voices Of Women

In 1999, I was invited to be on a panel that changed my life. When I was little, I dreamed of being an artist, one that could use her work to speak about things that I thought were important. Growing up during Watergate was key, very influential. In fact the whole period of my youth was influential. Woodstock, hippies, assassinations, Vietnam, Civil Rights Marches, Women’s Libbers. But strangely, it never occurred to me that my drawing had anything to do with being a woman. I just wanted to draw. When I became a professional, I was aware I was a minority in my chosen field of New Yorker cartooning, but I was just glad I got into the magazine. I didn’t see myself, and still don’t, as a woman cartoonist. I am a cartoonist who happens to be a woman. <a href="https://lizadonnelly.medium.com/voices-of-women-d7059c4a869d">Visit Now</a>
