Betty Boop originally started out as a completely different character and after a short period transformed into the “boop-oop-a-doop!” animated cartoon fans have adored for 100 years!
Remarkable isn’t it? Imagine a feminist character in the 1920s! Betty Boop challenged the preconceived and traditional female standards. She was feisty, head-strong, determined, a fighter and she let nothing stop her when she made up her mind to do something.
Oh sure, there were a few times when she reverted to a damsel in distress, but mostly she was true to herself and eventually became a role model for women all over the world.
In writer Perter Benjaminson’s The Life And Times OF Betty Boop The 100-Year History Of An Animated Icon softbound book, published by Applause Theatre & Cinema Books, readers follow the long and illustrious career and legendary status of animations first liberated woman.
Learn about her creation, copyright battles, traditional female roll rebellion and the spawning of her international, multi-million dollar mechanizing empire.
Betty Boop has evolved over the years and she’s changed with the times. But, she still remains one of the strongest (if not the strongest) female animated characters of all time.
Proverbs 12:20 - Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
