Eggshell Skull: A Memoir About Standing Up, Speaking Out and Fighting Back by Bri Lee

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners. Small faint mark on right foredge. Interior and binding are still excellent.

As a bright-eyed judge's associate, Bri Lee began her first day of work at the Queensland District Court. Two years later, she was back as the complainant in her own case.

This is the story of Bri's journey through the Australian legal system: first as the daughter of a policeman, then as a law student, and finally as a judge's associate in both metropolitan and regional Queensland, where justice can look very different, especially for women.

The injustice Bri witnessed, mourned and raged over every day finally forced her to confront her own personal history, one she'd vowed never to tell. And this is how, after years of struggle, she found herself on the other side of the courtroom, telling her story.

Bri Lee has written a fierce and eloquent memoir that addresses both her own reckoning with the past as well as with the stories around her, to speak the truth with wit, empathy and unflinching courage. Eggshell Skull is a haunting appraisal of modern Australia from a new and essential voice. (back cover)
