For more than 30 years, Nell Brinkley's beautiful girls pirouetted, waltzed, charlestoned, vamped and shimmied their way through the pages of William Randolph Hearst's newspapers, captivating the American public with their innocent sexuality. Beginning when she was just 22, Nell Brinkley quickly made her characters into household names and ready pop culture references; songs were written about her and women everywhere copied the fashions and hairstyles she drew each week. This collection is the first ever full-colour celebration of this feminist icon's work.
