Nicole Hollander is an American cartoonist and writer from Chicago Illinois. She earned a BFA in 1960 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and graduated with an MFA from Boston University in 1966. In 1958 while studying at UIUC, she married sociology graduate student Paul Hollander but they divorced four years later in 1966.

During the 1970s she ran her own graphic design company and worked teaching and as an art director. She was the graphic artist for the feminist publication ‘The Spokeswoman’ and it was here that her character ‘Sylvia’ first appeared in 1976 in the strip ‘Feminist Funnies’. St. Martin’s Press published a collection of her cartoons in 1979 as ‘I’m training to be tall and blonde’, and the book’s success led to Field Enterprises distributing ‘Sylvia’ as a daily strip in 1981. Hollander later self syndicated the strip and by 1997 ‘Sylvia’ was running in over 80 daily and weekly newspapers across the country. The strip dealt with political, social, gender and cultural topics from a woman’s point of view.

Hollander has published over 20 book collections of her cartoons. During the 1980s and 1990s she worked on greeting cards for a number of companies and she drew for magazines such as Mother Jones. She has led cartoon workshops and classes and she wrote the script for the theatrical prodcution based on ‘Sylvia’ called ‘Sylvia’s real good advice'. Hollander continued to work on ‘Sylvia’ until she announced ‘Sylvia’s retirement from the newspaper business’ in March 2012.
