Description
Courage A Grace by W H Wilde
Official biography of the famous Australian poet, patriot, pioneer radical and social reformer.
Dame Mary Gilmore’s life spanned almost a century and her influence was felt in almost every aspect of the Australian experience during the period 1890-1962. She was full of contradictions. A nationalist and Anglophobe, she was still happy to accept her title of Dame of the British Empire. A staunch campaigner for the Labor Party all her life, she ended by writing a column in the Communist Tribune. She extolled family and domestic virtues, yet lived for years in boarding houses, separated from husband and son.
