The Flapper cartoons of the New Yorker

The New Yorker has published a short text about the brilliant 1920’s flapper cartoons by illustrator Barbara Shermund, reflecting a changing image of femininity: “The women in Barbara Shermund’s New Yorker cartoons seemed to be in charge of their lives and talked about their dreams and ideas. They were confused, too, because the roles for women were changing, often not fast enough.”
