The art and commentary of Nell Brinkley (1886-1944) ran in American
newspapers from 1907 through the 1930s. At the height of her
popularity, "The Brinkley Girl" appeared in the Ziegfeld Follies
and inspired poems and popular songs. Brinkley's name even sold
hair curlers, and her delicate pen work influenced later women
cartoonists. As early as 1913, Brinkley was drawing working women,
from farm and factory workers to those pursuing careers, using her
art to encourage decent pay, pensions, and housing for thousands of
young women working for the war effort. This work covers her life
and her work, which might upon first glance show pretty girls but
on a closer inspection reveals a post-Victorian feminism. It also
looks at her rise to popularity, the innocent sexuality of her
Brinkley girls, the sugary and sentimental Betty and Billy series,
and the beauty of her line drawings.
