Kathleen Monypenny was born in Hay, NSW in 1894. She spent most of her working life in the Mitchell Library. Her writing was published regularly in newspapers and magazines both in Australia and Britain. She also wrote poetry all her life but very little of it was ever published. A memorial selection of unpublished works appeared after her death in The Saturday Club Book of Poetry, Issue No. 1, 1972. Another selection of her poems was published in 1975 as Songs of the Lyrebird.
