Dorothy Parker

"I like to have a martini, Two at the very most. After three I'm under the table, after four I'm under my host." — Dorothy Parker Dorothy Parker was an American writer and poet, best known for her wit, wisecracks, and sharp eye for 20th century urban foibles.. From a conflicted and unhappy childhood, Parker rose to acclaim, both for her literary output in such venues as The New Yorker and as a founding member of the Algonquin Round Table. Following the breakup of that circle, Parker traveled to Hollywood to pursue screenwriting. Her successes there, including two Academy Award nominations, were curtailed as her involvement in left-wing politics led to a place on the infamous Hollywood blacklist. Parker went through three marriages (two to the same man) and survived several suicide attempts, but grew increasingly dependent on alcohol. Dismissive of her own talents, she deplored her reputation as a "wisecracker". Nevertheless, her literary output and her sparkling wit have endured.

Dorothy Salisbury Davis

Davis was born in Chicago in 1916, and adopted and raised in Illinois by Margaret (Greer) and Alfred J. Salisbury. She worked in Chicago in advertising as a research librarian and as an editor of The Merchandiser, prior to taking up fiction writing. She was married to Harry Davis, the character actor, from 1946 until his death in 1993. She published many novels and short stories. Among them are two sets of series novels, but she mainly wrote stand-alone novels. Her novels explore psychological suspense, as was popular for many decades, and has 'an especially strong way of sharing with readers the minds of female characters confronting hazards and crisis'. She was nominated for an Edgar Award eight times, served as President of the Mystery Writers of America in 1956 and was declared a Grand Master by that organization in 1985. She was on the initial steering committee of Sisters in Crime when it was formed in 1986 and her support was influential in dampening attacks on the new organization. Davis died on August 3, 2014, at a senior residence facility in Palisades, New York. from Wikipedia

Dorothy Woolfolk

Dorothy A. Woolfolk née Dorothy Roubicek (October 11, 1913 - November 27, 2000, Norfolk, Virginia, United States), was a pioneering woman in the American comic book industry. The first female editor at DC Comics, one of the two largest companies in the field, she helped create the fictional metal kryptonite in the Superman mythos. Woolfolk, the wife of novelist William Woolfolk, began her career during the Golden Age of comic books, serving from 1942-44 as an editor at All-American Publications, one of the three companies that would merge to form the present-day DC. She spent the next two years at Timely Comics, the 1940s predecessor to Marvel Comics, and in 1948 was an editor at EC Comics. After raising children Donald and Donna, the latter of whom would become an author, Woolfolk briefly returned to comics in the 1970s, editing Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane, Young Romance, and other DC superhero and romance titles from 1971-72. She also occasionally scripted comics, including an unknown number of Wonder Woman stories in the 1940s — making Woolfolk, along with Ruth Atkinson, among comic books' first female writers. Woolfolk also wrote for the science fiction magazine Orbit during the 1950s, and in the 1970s and early 1980s was the author of young-adult novels for Scholastic Press, including a series about teen detective Donna Rockford. Woolfolk's daughter, Donna Woolfolk Cross, is also an author; her work includes the historical novel Pope Joan (Ballantine|, 1996). Woolfolk told the Florida newspaper Today, sometime during August 1993, that she had found Superman's invulnerability dull, and that DC's flagship hero might be more interesting with an Achilles' heel such as adverse reactions to a fragment of his home planet. She was nominated every year from 2001-2004 for induction into the Women Cartoonists Hall of Fame. She was living in Newport News, Virginia, near Norfolk, at the time of her death.
