Women Laughing is a documentary about the women cartoonists of The New Yorker, exploring how their humor, perspectives, and creative voices have helped shape the magazine across generations. Featuring cartoonists including Roz Chast, Liza Donnelly, Amy Hwang, and others, the film looks at the history of women in cartooning, the creative process behind their work, and the ways they have expanded who gets to tell jokes—and whose experiences become part of the cultural conversation.
