Sex and Sensibility: Ten Women Examine the Lunacy of Modern Love...in 200 Cartoons Hardcover – April 2, 2008
by Liza Donnelly (Editor)
Sex and Sensibility is a book of 150 cartoons, all by female cartoonists, that captures the zeitgeist of sex and love today. Many of these selections would never have been published ten years ago due to their being too risque or tackling subject matter that hadn't been invented yet, like sex through texting. These women offer snapshots of ourselves in love and in bed.

Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, the New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Glamour, The Nation, National Lampoon, and Oxygen Online.
