California Writers Club speaker: Kristen Caven on My Glamorous Cartooning Career

The other author I heard speak in Oakland at the California Writers Club was Kristen Caven, author of Perfectly Revolting: My Glamorous Cartooning Career
In 1990 Kristen Caven witnessed a revolt as students at Mills, one of the last remaining women’s colleges, shut down the campus to keep boys out of their classrooms. Her new memoir, Perfectly Revolting: My Glamorous Cartooning Career, includes a reprint of Inside the Mills Revolution —which won the Bay Guardian Cartoon Contest but was banned on the Mills campus—plus over 100 more of her hilarious cartoons, and a story about following her muses to womanhood.

Kristen was a wonderful speaker, full of genuine smiles and a nice sense of humor about life. I like to draw, so was fascinated to see how she made this book up with her cartoons. http://www.kristencaven.com/
