Book Description

Dame Enid Lyons was the first woman to sit in the Australian House of Representatives. She has been associated with politics all her life. Even as a child, she met the flamboyant King O'Malley.

In this book, she describes the period of her life when she was most intimately involved in Australian politics: her seven and a half years as a member of the Federal Parliament. She writes of championing women's rights to equal pay and to retaining citizenship after a foreign marriage, and of the turbulent politics of post-war reconstruction. She also gives glimpses of many Canberra notables.
