Peanuts was coed from the very first strip. The original female members of the Peanuts Gang, Patty and Violet, played against the hapless Charlie Brown, his buddy Shermy, and Snoopy. They never quite took center stage until Charles M. Schulz developed later female characters like Lucy and Sally, and later Peppermint Patty and Marcie, who had, “enough personality to carry out ideas.” In the new exhibition, Girl Power in Peanuts, come see an exemplary display of girl power as played out in a variety of circumstances, from fields of play, to dress codes at school, and beyond, and the influence of the exceptional women in the life of Charles Schulz.
