At the height of her popularity, \"The Brinkley Girl\" appeared in the \u003ci\u003eZiegfeld Follies\u003c\/i\u003e and inspired poems and popular songs. Brinkley's name even sold hair curlers, and her delicate pen work influenced later women cartoonists. As early as 1913, Brinkley was drawing working women, from farm and factory workers to those pursuing careers, using her art to encourage decent pay, pensions, and housing for thousands of young women working for the war effort. This work covers her life and her work, which might upon first glance show pretty girls but on a closer inspection reveals a post-Victorian feminism. It also looks at her rise to popularity, the innocent sexuality of her Brinkley girls, the sugary and sentimental \u003ci\u003eBetty and Billy\u003c\/i\u003e series, and the beauty of her line drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Trina Robbins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786411511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786411511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.96w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 204","brand":"Trina Robbins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965735289087,"sku":"9780786411511","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9b47d93-b662-410f-adc2-ed7be0369804.jpg?v=1767284450","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nell-brinkley-and-the-new-trina-robbins-9780786411511","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
