"Looking back Little Lulu was an early feminist, but at the time I just thought she was a really feisty developed comic strip character"
- Bill Griffith
About this Quote
This quote by Bill Griffith talks to the timelessness of Little Lulu, a comic strip character developed in the 1930s. While Little Lulu was not always planned to be a feminist icon, her strong will and determination to stand up for herself and her buddies has made her a symbol of female empowerment. Recalling, it is clear that Little Lulu led her time, and her character was a reflection of the altering attitudes towards females in the early 20th century. At the time, however, Little Lulu was just viewed as a fun and feisty character, and her feminist qualities were not right away recognized. Little Lulu's tradition has endured, and she continues to be an inspiration to young girls and ladies everywhere.
