| Summary |
Fay Marles has lived a life of firsts. As Victoria#x92;s first Commissioner for Equal Opportunity, she played an instrumental role in the landmark case that resulted in Ansett employing its first female pilot. Over the next decade, she battled discrimination on many fronts, overseeing the commission#x92;s rapid development and expansion. She went on to found Australia#x92;s first private equal opportunity consultancy, and made history again when she became the first woman Chancellor of the University of Melbourne in February 2001. But in these fascinating memoirs, Marles offers much more than an account. |
