Review by Library Journal Review

From 1971 and Hell Rider superhero -Butterfly through contemporary cartoons, Whaley (American studies, Univ. of Iowa) unpacks meaning and cultural impact of cartoons by and of women of African descent. Topics include Catwoman, Jackie Ormes and her pioneering newspaper strips, black women characters as embodying attributes of Africa, and the anime Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water. Over a dozen characters are discussed, and as many black women creators. © Copyright 2016. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
