An engaging and affectionate look at the work of editorial cartoonist Etta Hulme (Ft.

 |
"Running Mate: Gender and Politics in the Editorial Cartoons." 47 min. 1992
Geraldine Ferraro's candidacy for Vice President in the 1984 presidential election drew fascinating gender-based commentary from editorial cartoonists. The subject of the first woman candidate on a major party ticket was irresistible. The video features interviews with Ferraro herself and with three political cartoonists. Distributed by First Run Icarus Films |
