Harpies & Heroines

Code: FNZCHH1109PB
110 years since New Zealand women gained the vote. Harpies & Heroines tells that story, in cartoons and text, as women have travelled the often bumpy road from economic dependence to emancipation and from the traditional domestic confines to the most public of roles. The cartoonists, mostly male, have depicted women as simpering misses, grim-faced bluestockings, battle-axe wives, flirtatious sirens, household drudges and inept money managers with frivolous preoccupations. Some balance has been provided by the contributions of women cartoonists to the feminist magazines of the 70s. * Good condition - General cover wear * NZ Cartoon Archive 2003 Edition * ISBN 9780958232012 *
