Description
From the Hawke government to the UN, a life committed to change ...Foreword by Dr Carmen LawrenceMargaret Reynolds was a senator in the Australian Parliament for sixteen years, and was Queensland's first female senator. Follow Margaret's extraordinary journey from apolitical university student to young mother and teacher witnessing injustice in the schools of London's East End and in Tasmania's schools for mentally and physically handicapped children.Margaret's activism has been a natural part of her life, as she moved from the UK to Queensland, witnessing at first hand the treatment of the indigenous population and then becoming involved in women's rights. From local councillor through to the federal Senate, and now President of the United Nations in Australia, Margaret's life has been one of growing awareness and commitment to causes she feels passionately about.Living Politics is an intimate portrait of a life lived in politics.
