She has written over 45 books for children, many of which have become international best-sellers in Australia and the US. But it was one book in particular that caught international attention and thrust her into the public's orbit.

She went to drama school in England, and came back to Australia in 1970, aged 22. She claims that growing up outside the country and returning at 22 gave her a unique perspective on Australia, and a passionate love for it.Mem Fox is a retired Associate Professor of Literacy Studies from Flinders University, South Australia, where she taught teachers for 24 years until 1996.Her latest book is Meerkat Mayhem, illustrated by Judy Horacek, published on November 5th 2024.Head to the link in my bio for our podcast conversation. Visit instagram @reallyinterestingwomen for further interviews and posts of interesting women in history.

Using examples of cartoons displayed in the Inked exhibition, Dr Guy Hansen will provide a short history of Australian cartooning over the last 200 years. Guy will discuss examples of satirical prints from 1780s, cartoons during colonial Australia from The Bulletin and the emergence of cartoonists as social commentator in the twentieth century. Guy will reference works from a range of cartooning superstars including Livingston Hopkins, Phil May, David Low, Stan Cross, Bruce Petty , Ron Tandberg, Michael Leunig, Geoff Pryor, Alan Moir, Cathy Wilcox and Judy Horacek.

If you like your cartoon hairstyles sharp and your comic observations sharper, Judy Horacek is your cartoonist. One of Australia’s most successful cartoonists (and one of our few female professionals in the business), her work ranges from wry political commentary to children’s picture books. Her nine cartoon books include children’s classics such as Where is the Green Sheep? and Good Night, Sleep Tight – both produced with long-term collaborator Mem Fox. Random Life is the latest of Horacek’s cartoon books for adults. It’s a crowdfunded collection of her recent cartoons – most first published in the Age – and many of which riff colourfully and reflectively on themes of labour and fairness, feminism and everyday life. For Books and Ideas at Montalto, Horacek talks with broadcaster Serpil Senelmis about Random Life, her career in cartoons, and her uniquely pointy take on contemporary society.

Using examples of cartoons displayed in the upcoming Inked exhibition, Exhibition Curator Dr Guy Hansen provides a short history of Australian cartooning over the last 200 years, sifting through examples of satirical prints from the 1780's, cartoons from the colonial period and the fleeting commentaries of the digital age. Dr Guy Hansen will reference works from a range of cartooning superstars including Stan Cross, Livingston Hopkins, Judy Horacek, Michael Leunig, David Low, Phil May, Alan Moir, Bruce Petty, Geoff Pryor, Ron Tandberg and Cathy Wilcox.

Australia has always punched above its weight in the brilliance of its cartoonists. Cartoonist (and one-time Canberra resident) Judy Horacek gives her perspective on Inked, the NLA’s new cartoon exhibition – what she loves about cartoons and the cartoons she loves. She will give some insights into her own work, and how the profession has changed in the three decades she has been in it, and her musings about whether the medium will survive in this new age. Judy’s work has been published in all over the world. At different times she has had regular gigs in The Age, the Australian and the Canberra Times. She is currently published two days a week in the Age. Judy also makes children’s picture books, both on her own and with Mem Fox.

Judy Horacek’s pointy-nosed characters are taking up more space on the page and in the street. The cartoonist, writer and children’s book creator joins to talk the complexities of making art for a living, and why realising what she wanted to say was the key to creating her iconic characters.

Author Mem Fox and illustrator Judy Horacek have teamed up again for a new picture book called Bonnie and Ben Rhyme Again. They explain the secret of their successful partnership, why rhyming is so important for children and how some sheep hopped across from Where is the Green Sheep to feature in their new book.

“The only thing better than a Mem Fox book is a Mem Fox and Judy Horacek book.” When Mem and Judy come together, magic happens. We chat with the creators of the famous Green Sheep about their new book Bonnie and Ben Rhyme Again and discuss their process, their ideas and their books!

We talk to Judy Horacek and Gabrielle Wang, two living legends, about writing and illustrating books - and their many other forms of creative work.

Random Life finds one of Australia’s favourite cartoonists at the height of her creative career; still making us think and laugh. It is full of all the things we have known and loved about Judy’s work over the years – her concerns for the environment, social justice and feminism, along with her off-the-wall quirkiness and trademark flights of fancy. Join Judy in conversation with Alex Sloan as she explores the cartoons that will make you laugh a lot, and occasionally weep.

This year the annual Pamela Denoon lecture will be presented by Wendy McCarthy AO under the title: Past victories, present challenges: Has Feminism failed Australian women? Further event details to follow. About the lecture The Pamela Denoon Lecture was inaugurated in 1989 as a tribute to the memory of Pamela Denoon and as a reminder that the gains that have been made by women over the years have only been possible because of the enormous dedication of women like Pamela. Pamela Denoon worked tirelessly to promote equality for women and was the National Coordinator of Women’s Electoral Lobby from 1982-84. She actively lobbied for women’s rights in Canberra during the 1980s and her bequest helped establish the National Foundation for Australian Women and the Pamela Denoon Trust. The Pamela Denoon Lecture is a regular event during International Women’s Week in Canberra. Speakers have included politicians, academics and a few more well-known personalities such as Judy Horacek, Anne Summers and Julie McCrossin. The Lecture aims to inspire and motivate women to find out more about issues for women in Australia and encourage some of them to get involved in a local organisation that works to promote women’s rights and other major women’s issues.
