Carol A Edwards is the creator of Feminine Riles, on Instagram. It has over 5,000 followers.Her cartoons use gorgeous graphics and mind-bending content to go behind the accepted narrative of “being female”. Above all, her work illuminates the key issues facing half of humanity, while raising readers’ eyebrows and skewering convention. Each cartoon, though seemingly small, tells a broader story: Readers say they not only challenge and enlighten, they start conversations.Carol is also a multiple award-winning professor of finance, with over 25 years of teaching experience. Students and colleagues have praised her materials for their creative approach to delivering complex, difficult concepts in a way which is interesting, concise, accessible, and “awesome!”Currently, Carol works in the graduate program at the globally top-ranked Beedie School. That puts her in a small coterie of women instructing students in advanced finance. Moreover, in the 1980s, she was one of a very few females in the world to work in the testosterone-charged field of portfolio management. A life-long feminist, Carol has considerable experience with the issues she cartoons about.
