Ann Telnaes (Feminist Cartoonist)

Ann Telnaes is a Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonist whose work has been published in The Washington Post, Le Monde, Courrier International, The Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Newsday, The New York Times, Austin American Statesman, Ms magazine and Women's eNews, an online news service.

Telnaes' catoons are sharp, smart, and critical. She addresses American politics, religion, and women's issues with satirical wit.



I really like Telnaes' humorous take on reproductive issues, as in the above cartoons. It brings attention to the perceived problem in a non-threatening format. Her ideas and statements, however, are very strong.

Telnaes explains in an interview for http://www.roadtripnation.com/:
“I didn’t apply myself until I finally realized it’s only in your power to make [something] of yourself. No one can do it for you, and I think when that realization hits you—that it’s all up to you if you want to do something with your life—you can either sit around and complain about all the hard knocks that come your way, or you can actually take control of your life. That made a big difference for me.” -Ann Telnae
