Quaker Signe Wilkinson found a target for her piercing wit through editorial cartooning, where she became the first female cartoonist to win the Pulitzer Prize in that genre. From a happy freelancer at the Philadelphia Inquirer to a full-time job at San Jose Mercury News and, since 1985, at The Philadelphia Daily News, Wilkinson has crafted pithy, cartoons. Now retired, Signe continues to chronicle and critique the issues of the day in her cartoons, syndicated nationally and internationally. Signe will give us her unique take as a Quaker and humorist on today’s issues in her talk, “A Cartoon Guide to Politics, Life and Also Some Important Things.”
