Kaz Cooke is an Australian writer, cartoonist, broadcaster and occasional radio presenter whose books have tickled, informed and sustained two generations of Australian women. She's the author of Up the Duff: The Real Guide to Pregnancy, Kidwrangling: Looking After Babies, Toddlers and Preschoolers, Girl Stuff: Your Full-on Guide to the Teen Years and now Women's Stuff. A former news and features journalist, and columnist, for The Age, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian, she now lives with her family in Melbourne.
Her books have been translated into many languages: in Latvian she is Keza Kuka and in Czech she is Kaz Cookeova. She has too many handbags and never knows where her mobile phone is.
