This is a biography and retrospective of Pele deLappe's work and her involvement in the "Red Press." [From back cover] Pele deLappe, a fourth generation San Franciscan, was raised in the milieu of art, both commercial and "fine." Her father, a noted advertising illustrator, decided she should attend art school at age 14. She became a graphic artist and political cartoonist for radical publications, later a feature editor for the "People's World" while struggling to find her own identity as an artists, out from under powerful male influences. After decades of work in a commercial printing plant and for the PW in Berkeley she left city life in 1992, following her heart - namely fine artist Byron Randall - to Petaluma, California.
