"Everybody's favorite liberated cartoon woman." -- Elle "Packed with amazing inspo and fab life advice." -- Girl's Life magazine "Betty Boop embodies the universal themes of Love, Courage, Independence, and Hope--the same themes that keep coming up in my own work as a musician and composer. It's these themes that have inspired us to bring Betty to Broadway. Betty within the pages of this book or on Broadway--it's all positive and empowering. I think the whole world could use a little Betty Boop right now." --David Foster, renowned musician and composer "The original female star of animation is back in Susan Wilking Horan and Kristi Ling Spencer's new book . Drawing upon the original Betty Boop cartoons and lessons Betty learned 90 years ago--the same lessons and issues which every modern woman faces today--the book not only celebrates Fleischer animation, but also provides entertaining and empowering lessons designed for girls and women of every age.
" --Dan Sarto, Animation World Network "One of animation's most enduringly popular characters, Betty Boop is adored by fans of all ages, considered a style icon, trendsetter, and symbol of women's empowerment . Written by empowerment advocates Susan Wilking Horan and Kristi Ling Spencer, the book features a foreword by designer Zac Posen and offers readers a glimpse into Betty's colorful history while also providing timely and timeless tips on topics ranging from love to health to self-empowerment." -- Animation Magazine "Betty is certainly an icon, in fashion, attitude, and lifestyle. You know her when you see her, and you know the character she'll bring to the screen: fierce, feisty, independent, ethical--a strong woman who knows her own mind. Susan Wilking Horan and Kristi Ling Spencer have taken the character of Betty Boop and tied those positive attributes, from Courage and Confidence to Health and Humor, together to create a book that entertains, enlightens, and educates with the light touch that Betty herself brought to so many classic screen appearances." --Greg Moody, CBS Denver, Critic at large.
