The Ladies, God Bless 'em! was published in 1950, the year after cartoonist Helen E. Hokinson died in a plane crash. She had published three cartoon collections in her lifetime; this is the first of three posthumous collections. Her gag writer James Reid Parker managed the estate. The book includes many of her cartoons from The New Yorker as well as John Mason Brown's tribute to Hokinson first published in the Saturday Review in December of 1949.
