Nicole Hollander, feminist cartoonist and inventor of Sylvia, has died.

[MarieDeGournay]

Nicole Hollander invented the character Sylvia in the 1980s, described by the New York Times as a 'big-haired, cigarette-smoking, cat-loving, hyper-opinionated feminist'.
The word 'acerbic' could have been invented to describe Sylvia!

RIP

I hadn’t heard of her but love those cartoons. We need more proper old fashioned feminist cartoons

RIP Nicole. You gave us some much-needed laughs.

She was very funny. What a cheerful legacy she leaves.

I saw this posted on facebook, and it made me go an dig out a book I have of her cartoons, so that I can look at them again - and have something funny and clever to look at.

Thank you Nicole Hollander RIP
