Abstract

This article is a review of UK Feminist Cartoons and Comics: A Critical Survey (2020) by Nicola Streeten. The book contributes to the literature on women cartoonists and feminist comics in Britain from 1970 to 2019. Streeten undertakes a study of cartoons, pamphlets, posters, postcards, long-form comics, and magazines by individual artists and collectives. In doing so, she studies both the product and its means of production. It seeks to decipher a feminist humour in the language of comics. The work has an underlying current of cultural materialism and hopes to contribute to the tradition of Robbins, Atkinson, and Chute. Through its methodological interventions, it plays an essential role in archiving feminism, comics, and humour.
