Abstract
One way of categorizing the few women cartoonists of China historically is by generations, the scheme favored in film circles for decades. Perhaps five periods can be identified as the beginning stages of these women’s careers: World War II, and before, post-Liberation (1949), the “Cultural Revolution” and its immediate aftermath, the 1980s, and contemporary. Unlike cinema, these categories are not necessarily associated with particular creative styles, formats, or storytelling techniques; they are simply a way to place the women chronologically.
In this chapter, Chinese names are in the Chinese order, with the family name preceding the first name.
