FREE Documentary Screening with Veteran New Yorker Cartoonist Liza Donnelly and Sara Thurber Sauers
In “Women Laughing,” Liza Donnelly sets out to explore her lifelong passion for women’s humor and cartooning by speaking, laughing, and drawing with a diverse group of remarkable women who create cartoons for the iconic magazine. Inspired by her acclaimed book Very Funny Ladies and Liza’s own biography, the film also looks back at the fascinating history and evolution of single panel cartoons—from the 1920s, to the present—and reveals how far women have come in a field historically dominated by men.
Liza Donnelly is a writer and award-winning cartoonist with The New Yorker Magazine, where she has been drawing cartoons and writing about culture and politics for forty years. She has contributed to CBS News and CNN, creating political cartoons as well as live-drawing special cultural and political events. Donnelly writes and draws for The New York Times and CNN Opinion pages and The Washington Post. Liza is also a screenwriter working on her third feature film.
