In 1990, the administration of Mills College—one of the few remaining schools for only women—voted to admit men as undergraduates. The students were outraged and went on strike, blockading the buildings and rallying the alumnae. I had recently graduated, and returned to my role as campus cartoonist to describe what I saw.

The collection won an award in the Bay Guardian Cartoon Contest, and I published it as a book, which was sold for one glorious week at the campus bookstore—before it was BANNED by the traumatized administration. (My first published work! Banned! And all because I made fun of someone's hair!)

Ultimately it sold hundreds of copies, and a panel was displayed in the Women's Museum in Dallas, Texas. And Mills re-committed itself to women's education in perpetuity.
