What happened to the good old days of "Woman as passive recipient?" What happened to being courted? What happened to sitting back under a parasol and granting someone a chance to try to win us over?

Cathy was the first widely syndicated humor strip created by a woman. The strip was pretty revolutionary at the time not only because it starred a female, but also because it was so emotionally honest about all the conflicting feelings many women had in 1976.

I've found it's better to talk to the machine and hang up if I get the person.

The story of a mother's life: Trapped between a scream and a hug.

Each of us wages a private battle each day between the grand fantasies we have for ourselves and what actually happens.

My mother had always taught me to write about my feelings instead of sharing really personal things with others, so I spent many evenings writing in my diary, eating everything in the kitchen and waiting for Mr. Wrong to call.

In 1976 I wrote a lot about women trying to claim the right to work.
