Judith Gumpert [Lightfoot] Cormack was born 1937, in New York City. After marriage to her first husband, she moved to Australia and worked for IBM (1964 to 1968). Cormack moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 1968 and continued working in the computer industry. Her involvement in the women's movement began in 1969 when she joined the newly-formed Atlanta chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW). Through her activities in NOW, Cormack became a significant figure in the women's movement in Georgia, and nationally. She was a founding member of the Georgia Women's Political Caucus (1971), a member of the 1972 Georgia Commission on the Status of Women, and served as a member, Southern Regional Director, and chair of the board during the "split" of NOW in the 1970s. In 1978 Cormack returned to Australia where she has lived for over twenty years.
