Let’s see what happens when a man runs against a woman for president!
He tries to kill her…
He tries to jail the opposition and commit election fraud…
…It’s a hell of an election.
—Wonder Woman #7 (1943) by William Moulton Marston & H.G. Peter
Re-posting this because I finally got to scan it in high-res.
Betty Bates is a goddamn hero.
—“Betty Bates, Lady-at-Law” in Hit Comics #47 (1947)

I feel like theres something to be said about the state of things if a woman being a lawyer was fantastic enough to be the only sensational part of a comic but Im not smart or awake enough to say it
WAIT, LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT OLD COMICS!
Comics in the United States in the 1940s were a relatively new and extremely popular form of entertainment verging on mass media. Superheroes had not yet become the dominant genre, and comics were a hotbed of creative experimentation in a wide variety of genres.
So you had comics where women were heroic PHOTOGRAPHERS (from Blue Circle Comics #1, 1944):
You had comics where women were heroic NEWS REPORTERS (from Fighting Yank #27, 1949):
You had comics where women were heroic POLICE OFFICERS (from National Comics #8, 1941):
You had comics where women are heroic AIRLINE HOSTESSES (from Banner Comics #5, 1942):
You had comics where women are heroic NURSES (from Speed Comics #15, 1941):
(from Wings Comics #3, 1940):
…who also became a heroic SPY (Wings Comics #31, 1943):
…who also became a heroic AVIATRIX (Wings Comics #51, 1944):
…who also became a heroic TEST PILOT and PLANE SALESPERSON after the war (Wings Comics #70, 1946):
…who also became a heroic REPORTER (Wings Comics #94, 1948):
You had comics where women are heroic SCIENTISTS (and also PRIVATE DETECTIVES) (from Wonder Comics #14, 1947):
You had comics where women are famous ACTRESSES and MODELS (from Miss Beverly Hills of Hollywood #5, 1949):
You had comics where women were both famous MODELS and heroic PRIVATE DETECTIVES (from Guns Against Gangsters #4, 1949):
You had LOTS of romance comics — including niche ones like these about women who are students:
…and that’s not counting all the sensationalized comics where women were cowgirls and criminals and superheroes and funny animals and evil sorceresses and space adventurers!
So here’s what I’d say:
1.) “A woman being a lawyer” is not the “fantastic” or “sensational” thing about the comic — she also solves crimes and fights criminals!
2.) What’s “to be said about the state of things” is that comics were actually much more diverse in terms of the genres and professions of women in the starring roles in the 1940s before superheroes became the dominant genre!
3.) …although they were mostly all white women, with very rare exceptions. Diversity in race and ethnicity was definitely NOT a hallmark of the 1940s.
4.) That being said… this is what an expanded landscape of representation in fiction looks like! Comics about women in all kinds of professions!

It is the only point of getting up every morning: to paint, to make something good, to make something even better than before, not to give up, to compete, to be ambitious.“
Lucian Freud (via bobbyjgeorge)
Some people are more certain of everything than I am of anything.
Robert Rubin, In an Uncertain World (via larmoyante)
Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man … living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money.
George Carlin (via ahealthyearth)
I have noticed that when all the lights are on, people tend to talk about what they are doing – their outer lives. Sitting round in candlelight or firelight, people start to talk about how they are feeling – their inner lives. They speak subjectively, they argue less, there are longer pauses. To sit alone without any electric light is curiously creative. I have my best ideas at dawn or at nightfall, but not if I switch on the lights – then I start thinking about projects, deadlines, demands, and the shadows and shapes of the house become objects, not suggestions, things that need to done, not a background to thought.
Why I Adore the Night (Jeanette Winterson)
People empty me. I have to get away to refill.
