The chapters consider these women's illustrations in the areas of natural history, periodicals and books, as well as their cartoons and caricatures. Using diverse critical approaches, the volume brings to light the works and lives of these important women illustrators and challenges the hegemony of male illustrators and cartoonists in nineteenth-century visual and print culture"-- Provided by publisher Analysis Alice Barber Stephens Edith Hume Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale Eleanor Vere Boyle Florence and Adelaide Claxton Jemima Blackburn Marianne North Mary Ellen Edwards Olive Allen Biller Pamela Colman Smith natural history illustrations women cartoonists women illustrators Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Jo Devereux is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Western Ontario In English Print version record Subject Women illustrators -- Biography -- 19th century Women cartoonists -- Biography -- 19th century Women artists -- Biography -- 19th century Women illustrators -- History -- 19th century HISTORY / Europe / Great Britain / Victorian Era (1837-1901).
