Image in context
Here's the image in context:
The Annie Whitman character was a kind of rival for Jessica Wakefield (the blonde). She was called "Easy Annie" and had a bad reputation, so she was more popular with the boys than Jessica.
A while back, I also designed a masthead with this image, but everyone told me it was too homoerotic:
Which is fine, really, but perhaps distracting given my mostly academic purposes in keeping this blog.
ROFL AWWWWFUL LOLCATS
2 Board Alley
As much as I love cats, and as much as I want Mike's cats to have a joyous birthday (maybe he'll take them to the opera to hear "Der Fliedermouse),I have to say that LOLCATS is so hilariously revolting that it has driven me to My Cat Hates You as an antidote.
Regarding your masthead changes--what I find most interesting is that each illustration offers a whole different take on feminism and rhetoric. The black cat reminds me of a witch's cat and suggests that either we are still witches 'cause we're smart women, or that there is magic to be had in the mix of feminism and rhetoric. The Nancy Drew image with the clock hits home with me because lately I've been thinking about how feminism seems like an historical event to so many of my female students--that it isn't a living ideology or something they'd best be thinking about as they head out into the work world.
