The chapters are arranged according to periods defined by Robbins, Girls' Comics (1941-1957), Women's Comics (1947-1977), Womyn's Comix (1970-1989), and Grrrlz' Comix (1990s). This work chronicles the history of women comics from 1941 until 1998. Her newest endeavor is From Girls to Grrrls: A History of Girls' Comics from Teens to Zines. Her works, in addition to many published articles and interviews, include Women and the Comics (jointly written with Catherine Yronwode), A Century of Women Cartoonists, and The Great Women Superheroes. She has given comics scholarship many valuable resources in this area. One writer of comics history who has worked diligently over the years to rectify this omission from at least one contributing group, women, is Trina Robbins. Histories of comics often by-pass or gloss over the contributions made by minorities.
