Rose Cecil O'Neill was one of the few women to achieve extraordinary financial success and professional independence in early twentieth-century America through cartooning. Many of her cartoons were created for Puck, Judge, Life, and Harper’s magazines and display her distinctively bold, yet fluid, Art Nouveau-inspired style. In 1909, O’Neill introduced readers of The Ladies’ Home Journal to "The Kewpies," cherubic cartoon characters that soon became a national craze and spun off lucrative contracts for dolls and other merchandise, as well as a popular syndicated Sunday comic strip.
