Interweaving nuanced discussions of politics, visuality, and gender, Gender and Activism in a Little Magazine uncovers the complex ways that gender figures into the graphic satire created by artists for the New York-based socialist journal the Masses, published between 1911 and 1917. This study uses these images to open up new ways of understanding the complexity of early 20th-century viewpoints, and returns these often-ignored images to their rightful place in American modernist scholarship.
