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

Biography

[edit]

Fleming studied a foundation course at the Chelsea School of Art, followed by a Fine Art degree at the University of Leeds.[3] Her first published cartoon appeared in Spare Rib, and was a university essay for Professor Griselda Pollock which she handed in as a cartoon strip, and was about a girl trying to understand what society wants from her.[3][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, The Observer, Diva, You and Big Issue.

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