From the Crucible, by Mark Lee Luther, 1907

Rose O'Neill was one of the most prolific artists of the 19th and 20th Centuries. She was the first woman cartoonist in America and the first woman staff artist at Puck Magazine. O'Neill illustrated for magazines during the Golden Age of Illustration. She worked alongside such notables as Charles Dana Gibson, J.C. Leyendecker, and James Montgomery Flagg. Some of the other publications she worked for include The Great Divide, Truth, Life, Harpers, Cosmopolitan, Ladies Home Journal, Woman's…

Rose Cecil O'Neill was an iconoclast in every sense of the word. A self-taught bohemian artist, who ascended through a male-dominated field to become a top illustrator and the first to build a merchandising empire from her work, with her invention of the Kewpie doll.
