Title: Seven years' island hopping
Description: Roddy Cordon was selected to be the first Woman Education Officer in the then Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony with an administrative and organisational role. She was concerned not only with the formal educatio of girls but with the informal education of all women. In this volume of her memoirs she depicts the excitement of being an innovator in one of the remotest of dependencies. In a region where the place of women was clearly demarcated, she tells of the part she played in widening the boundaries and opening up opportunities for the talents of women.
