Michelle Reynolds

I am a PhD student in Art History and Visual Culture co-supervised by Professor Patricia Zakreski and Professor John Plunkett. My thesis considers the relationship between the professionalisation of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century women illustrators and cartoonists and the emergence of the New Woman socio-political and cultural phenomenon in Britain. I am also looking at the New Woman's visual representation and how women illustrators and cartoonists contributed to this representation.
