Lessons From The Gibson Girl traces the Gibson Girl in Charles Dana Gibson's satirical artwork as she captured the admiration of both men and women with seductive yet thought-provoking humor for more than thirty years. |

A Genealogical and Historical Drama Cruel Irony - Triumphs and Tragedies of a Modern Woman is the story of a family coming to Canada in 1855, following new opportunities to the U.S. in 1870, and settling on the Kansas prairies. And that was the easy part. The heroine, Esther E. Johnson, overcame setback after setback, explored post- World War I freedoms, and became a respected nurse. Her life was cut short in the most surprising manner possible. A cruel irony indeed. A Genealogy Story This book started as a research project of a family member whose life was surrounded by conflict and controversy from her earliest times. Intrigued by entries from my mother's 1945 diary, I began to research her aunt, Esther Johnson, whose story was only in family lore, yet appeared to be a dramatic account of the times - and unfortunately many family conflicts. Released in 2015, Cruel Irony is available in print and Kindle ebook. |
Messages from 100 Years Ago Not a biography of Gibson, it is a serious look at his satire and over 260 classic illustrations he wielded to lampoon society from his first cartoons in the Victorian 1880s through the rowdy 1920s. As Relevant Today as Yesterday Gibson gave voice to women of the era through the Gibson Girl. Even though a century has passed since his provocative, yet comedic art touched millions of readers, many of the problems he tackled are still visible on today's stage. Suffrage, gender equality, government corruption, and big business influence were the era's leading issues. As we traverse the 21st century, more questions are to be asked and important choices to be made, Lessons From The Gibson Girl reminds us of concerns that sadly are still unresolved from more than 100 years ago. Lessons From The Gibson Girl presents some of Charles Dana Gibson's best sketches and wit, delivering a fun read. Yet, like his drawings, there are lessons to be learned from the Gibson Girl and Gibson's entertaining illustrations.. |
