"Rose Cecil O'Neill
(June 25, 1874 – April 6, 1944) was an American illustrator, artist, and writer who created the popular comic characters,
Kewpies
. After the growing popularity of O'Neill's Kewpie cartoons upon their publication in 1909, the characters were made into
bisque
dolls in 1912 by a German toy company, and later in
composition
material and
celluloid
. They were wildly popular in the early twentieth century, and are considered to be one of the first mass-marketed toys in
America
. O'Neill also wrote several novels and books of poetry, and was active in the
women's suffrage
movement. She at one point became the highest-paid female illustrator in the world upon the success of the Kewpie dolls."
