Jacky Fleming

Jacky Fleming (born 1955, London) is a cartoonist, whose work first became known through her pre-internet social activism postcards.[1] [2]

Fleming studied a foundation course at Chelsea School of Art, followed a Fine Art degree by the University of Leeds.[3] Her first published cartoon, which appeared in Spare Rib, was a university essay for Professor Griselda Pollock which she handed in as a cartoon strip,[3] and was about a girl trying to understand what society wants from her.[1] Since then her work has featured in many books, exam papers, and publications which include The Guardian,[4] The Independent, New Statesman, New Internationalist, Red Pepper, Observer, Diva, You, and Big Issue.

Fleming's book about Charles Darwin's theory of female inferiority[5] was the winner of the Artemisia Humour prize for The Trouble with Women.[6]

gollark: I do wonder what void that's actually referring to.
