It should have been a great book, like Susan Mitchell's earlier work, Tall Poppies , about successful Australian women, which I found inspiring and entertaining reading. Susan Mitchell's technique was to ask few questions herself, and give the interviewee freedom to express her own thoughts as she wished. Other interviews, such as the one with Betty Friedan were much more interesting, being concerned with achievements made and struggles being continued in the United States on behalf of women today. Nevertheless, the stories of these women deserve to be documented, lest we forget the battles they fought and the debt we owe them for our present freedoms. We must know that the history of feminism is our history and pass it on to every generation.
Review focuses on writings in book or other format and of interest to the legal profession.
While the law will take priority, writings on politics, economics, history and travel as well as biography, will also be given coverage. Occasionally we will review publications with dated imprints. These may not have been reviewed in NSW before and may still be of value to readers.
