As a women starting out in the illustration field, I was curious about the lives of other women illustrators. How did they manage their time? What compromises did they make? How did their art affect their lives? Did work interfere with family life? How did the events or people in these womens lives shape their artwork? Who or what were their influences? In short, did their life drive their art or did their art drive their life? For most, the answer will be both, so I have focused on to what extent the two were intertwined. You will find my conclusions for each woman under the heading Raison dÊtre. Included is a brief history of childrens book publishing and its relationship to the women involved. I do not profess to be an expert on the topic, only a casual observer. With a Euro-centric perspective, it is filled with some fascinating insights into worldly events that shaped the industry and the role that women have filled in it.
This project was created as an independent study in art history for college credit. Rather than writing a paper that very few people would see, I envisioned an enjoyable website from which all might learn. In that regard, please respect the copyrights of the images. They are included for educational purposes only and are not to be copied for any reason.
