Author of 18 books for adults and children, Women On Men was a finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor. Her most recent book is a history, Very Funny Ladies, The New Yorker’s Women Cartoonists, 1925-2021, with a foreword by David Remnick and Emma Allen. Liza’s TED talk was translated into 40 languages. The innovator of digital visual journalism, she live-draws the Oscars on-site and political events for major news outlets.

The cartoonist Liza Donnely, an authoritative figure of The New Yorker with her five cartoons, interprets in an ironic and surreal way what appears to be a true "contrast" for the artist: the imperfect nature of people and the machine, which, unable to perceive the illogical and fallible aspects of humans, supports them through its perfect and cold rationality.
