Why Aren't There More Female Cartoonists?
Jen Sorensen has a column at Campus Progress discussing the bristol board barrier women face:
We’re something of a rare breed. Exact statistics are difficult to find—even the national group Association of American Editorial Cartoonists can only estimate the national number of political cartoonists, let alone break them down by gender, ethnicity, or class. But to give you a rough idea, of the association’s 185 current regular members, only 15 are women. I’m one of them

Can you point us to some work by women political cartoonists?
Yes. The group I'm in, Cartonist With Attitude, contains some of the best. Stephanie McMillan, Mikhaela Reid and Jen Sorensen. You can find links to their sites through here:

Signe Wilkinson is also good. She draws editorial cartoons for the Philadelphia Daily News.
Ann Telnaes was also one of the best, but she left print cartooning few months ago.
Doesn't mean she quit political cartooning, tho. She currently does editorial animation for the Washington Post website.
