Social reformer, peace activist, policy advisor, Kay Carmichael keenly observed the downtrodden and effected much of the social reform we take for granted. This collection of her essays and writings - many from her column in New Society in the 1980s reflect a courageous spirit in crystal clear prose. Her dying was as controversial as her life and her thoughts on death are things we need to hear and discuss for ourselves and for our young.
"A true gem of a book; starting from Kay's difficult childhood, right through to her death; autonomous, against the grain, brave and on her terms. A story of righteousness, fighting for the underdog, never backing down when one feels principled about injustice in the world. A wonderful read, heartbreaking and inspiring in equal measure."
