Liza Donnelly
Liza Donnelly (born in 1955) is an American cartoonist and writer, best known for her work in The New Yorker. She is the author of fifteen books.
She sold her first cartoon to The New Yorker in 1979,[1] and they began to appear regularly in that magazine in 1982, at which time she was the youngest, and one of only three women cartoonists at the magazine.[2] Donnelly’s work has appeared in many other national publications, including The New York Times, The Harvard Business Review, The Nation, Audubon, Glamour, Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, National Lampoon, American Photographer, Scholastic News, Cobblestone, and Habitat.[3]
Online publications that have published Donnelly's work include wowOwow,[4] The Daily Beast,[5] Open Salon,[6] The New Yorker,[7] CNN,[8] Forbes[9], The Huffington Post[10], and Women's eNews.[11] She is the creator and editor of World Ink[12].
She has been on the faculty at Vassar College,[13] where she taught Cartoons in American Culture and Women’s Studies. A self-described feminist,[14] in her book, Funny Ladies: The New Yorker's Greatest Women Cartoonists And Their Cartoons, Donnelly chronicles the history of women in New Yorker cartoons, both as illustrators and as subjects.[15] In Sex & Sensibility, which Donnelly edited, cartoons from ten female cartoonists explore the female perspective on love and sex.[16]
Donnelly is also an experienced public speaker. Shortly after the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, she spoke at the United Nations on behalf of Cartooning For Peace.[17][18] She also spoke at the first TED Women conference.[19]
She has curated numerous exhibitions, among them an exhibition of cartoons about women's rights at the annual conference of Women Deliver.[20]
In 2012, Donnelly visited Israel[21] and Palestine[22] as a cultural envoy of the US State Department to discuss the political impact of cartoons, international women cartoonists and how cartoons can be used for peace.
Donnelly is married to fellow New Yorker cartoonist Michael Maslin.[23]
Donnelly's book Cartoon Marriage, written with her husband, was optioned by Jennifer Garner's production company, Vandalia Films. The script was written by Lizzie McGuire creator Terri Minsky.[24][25][26]
