There was a Smithsonian article about this that gave me the basics...not sure I'm up for reading a whole book (I was never a comics reader either). But I appreciate the review for its summary of the important points.
I'm interested in Inez Haynes Irwin because I DID grow up reading her Maida series -- I had no idea she was a feminist activist. The series is not very progressive by today's standards -- the girls tend to be contentedly cooking and cleaning and the boys working outside -- but there's a passage that was probably a bit radical in the day, where the girls go on strike because the boys don't appreciate them. I will definitely try to find Angel Island; anything approved by Ursula K. LeGuin is sure to be worthwhile.
