Living Politics
Shows how activism has been a natural part of the author's life - from teaching children with disabilities to experiencing first-hand the poor treatment of indigenous people in modern Australia.
From the Hawke government to the UN, a life committed to change...
Living Politics features a foreword by Dr Carmen Lawrence and offers an insightful look into the life of Margaret Reynolds, who served as a senator in the Australian Parliament for sixteen years and was Queensland's first female senator.
Follow Margaret's extraordinary journey from an apolitical university student to a young mother and teacher, witnessing injustice in the schools of London's East End and Tasmania's schools for mentally and physically handicapped children.
Margaret's activism has been a natural part of her life. Moving from the UK to Queensland, she witnessed first-hand the treatment of the indigenous population and became actively involved in women's rights. From local councillor to the federal Senate, and now as President of the United Nations in Australia, Margaret's life has been one of growing awareness and commitment to causes she passionately champions.
Living Politics is an intimate portrait of a life lived in politics.
