NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Ann Telnaes

Ann Telnaes is an American editorial cartoonist. Unlike many editorial cartoonists, Telnaes does not draw for any one set newspaper, and her cartoons are instead syndicated across the United States.

Her cartoons tend to be quite liberal in tone, and have a special focus on women's issues, such as burkas, third world pregnancy, and abortion rights.

In 2001 she became the second woman cartoonist to win the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning.

	As a freelancer and a woman cartoonist, Telnaes is thus doubly unusual among Pulitzer winners.
	Telnaes depicts the problematic processing of election returns as a horse race to underscore the fact that historically close numbers of popular votes and electoral votes determined this election.
