A Woman of Influence: Science, Men and History by Ann Moyal

Book Description

Secondhand. >Good condition. Ex library copy with external stickers and protective plastic covering. Stamps and writing on half-title page. Minor wear to corners and edges. Body text and binding are still very good.

Written from the late years of an extraordinary life, Ann Moyal's biography is a spirited narrative of her career as an eminent historian of Australian science and technology, her three marriages, her travels around the globe, the people she has encountered, and the joys and challenges of ageing.

Responding to a lack of biographies of older women, she continues where her earlier memoir Breakfast with Beaverbrook left off, revelling in the passions and people that continue to fill her life, through to her eighties.

As one of Australia's significant intellectuals, this is both an account of the life of the mind and an intimate telling of a rich and remarkable life. (publisher blurb)
