Overview

Spotlighting a woman who was strongly dedicated to improving the lives of the disadvantaged, this biography celebrates the accomplishments of Pat Giles. Her entrance into Parliament as a Labor politician is reviewed, acknowledging that she came on board not as a raw recruit but as an experienced trade unionist, policymaker, feminist campaigner, and grassroots activist. This account reveals a woman whose determination never faltered and whose work ethic never flagged, telling the story of an activist working from within the established order to effect social change.

Reviews

"This well-written biography of Pat Giles is a reminder that in the midst of the self-servers and crazies there is always a group of committed politicians whose ambition is to make the world a better place and help their fellow human beings."  —Sydney Morning Herald
