Laura E. Foster (1871 - September 23, 1920) was an American artist, known for her illustrations and cartoons.
Foster was born in 1871 in San Francisco.[1][2] Foster lived and worked in San Francisco until the earthquake of 1906, after which she moved to New York City.[3][4] In 1908, she married Donald C. Monroe, but continued to work under her unmarried name.[5][6]
As a professional cartoonist, her work appeared in Life, the Saturday Evening Post and other periodicals.[7][1] Foster's work was often related to women's suffrage and she created images that were both pro- and anti-suffragist.[8]
Foster died on September 23, 1920, after an operation.[9][1]
