The Cartoon Art Museum will host Caitlin McGurk, author of 'Tell Me a Story Where the Bad Girl Wins,' for a discussion and signing event. The book functions as both a biography and an art collection, spotlighting Barbara Shermund's trailblazing career as a female cartoonist during a time when such representation was scarce. Shermund's work, featured in prestigious magazines such as The New Yorker, reflects her sharp wit and the evolving roles of women in society. Attendees will also hear from Amanda Janes Gormley, Shermund's niece, adding further insights into her family legacy.
In her debut publication, Caitlin McGurk celebrates Barbara Shermund, one of the first female cartoonists, with a biography and art collection showcasing her influential career.
The life and art of Barbara Shermund are honored through McGurk's work, highlighting how Shermund's characters addressed sex, marriage, and societal roles in a patriarchal era.
