It’s not clear exactly when Sauterel worked in the comic book industry. Women and the Comics (1985) said
Most of the women in the comic book shops of the 1940s worked in outfits run by Jack Binder, Lloyd and Grace Jacquet, Eisner-Iger (later Iger-Roche), or Harry “A” Chesler. It was Chesler who had acted as an agent for the work of Corinne Dillon, Jean Hotchkiss and Claire Moe in the late thirties. Female artists who worked in his shop include Ann Brewster and Georgette Sauterel, but neither stayed long. Sauterel did the bulk of her work for the Binder shop and Brewster, who under Chesler’s direction did “Yankee Girl” for Dynamic, soon left to join her there. Jack Binder’s comic book art factory was located in Englewood, New Jersey. There he and his staff produced an abundance of material for Fawcett and Street & Smith comic books between 1940 and 1943. The women he employed—Ann Brewster, June Hill, Gloria Kamen, Betty Kathe, Pauline Loth, Georgette Sauterel and Marcia Snyder ...
On July 23, 1943, Sauterel and Wilbourn R. Mayo obtained, in Queens, marriage license number 5681. They married the next day.
The marriage ended in divorce. Mayo (1920–1990) remarried.
On June 9, 1944, Sauterel enlisted in the Women’s Army Corps. She was a draftsman.
At some point Sauterel moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma where she married Daniel G. Egan on August 18, 1948.
In the 1950 census, the couple (lines 24 and 25) were Tulsa residents at 334 South Gale. Sauterel was a typist at a chemical laboratory. Her husband was a petroleum engineer.
In the 1960s, Sauterel continued her education at Arlington State College in Texas. She graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1966. She was listed in the commencement program.
