Its a lively account of academic life at the newly established Monash University in the 1960s, a time when women were rare in university departments and even more rarely promoted, the snakes and ladders ups and downs of her time in the US, and of her charting new territory in Australian biography with acclaimed works on artists, writers and leaders.Brenda Nialls career isnt one of struggle against the odds in a mans world but one of quiet, confident work that couldnt be ignored. Her Jane Austen-like wit and elegant prose enlivens this story of Australian womens history seen through the lens of her remarkable life.
