Added by ATimson. Women & Children First: Nancy Goldstein (April 11 at 19:30) Nancy Goldstein discusses Jackie Ormes: The First African-American Woman Cartoonist. In mid-twentieth century America, an era when there were few opportunities for women in general, and even fewer for African American women, illustrator Jackie Ormes blazed a trail as a popular cartoonist (Torchy Brown, Patty-Jo ‘n’ Ginger) with the major black newspapers of her day. A member of Chicago’s ... (more)Black elite, Ormes social circle included leading political figures and entertainers. Her progressive politics were apparent in her work, and eventually led to her investigation by the FBI. Included in this fascinating biography is a generous selection of Ormes’s illustrations, touching upon many of the major political issues of her time, including segregation, Cold War politics, education equality, and the atom bomb.

What?Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary? A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly. Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above? A: Yes you can. Q: I know an author is separate, but some infernal idiot keeps combining them. Can I take a name off the combination list? A: Yes you can. Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not. Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author? A: No authors. Q: I am the infernal idiot and I'm right! A: Take it to the Combiners group.Q: What if this author is really two authors? A: We're working on a solution, but if you want you can post a brief disambiguation notice in the Common Knowledge section. Become a member to do this. |
