Courage a Grace: A Biography of Dame Mary Gilmore
by W.H. Wilde.
Melbourne University Press, Carlton, 1988.

The first biography of feminist writer and poet Dame Mary Gilmore captures some of her contradictions. As a young follower of idealist William Lane, Gilmore helped establish his short- lived Utopia in Paraguay in the 1880s and later back in the Australia built a career as a journalist writing for the union organ Australian Worker, The Bulletin and the Communist Tribune. The subject of Dobell’s extraordinary portrait died a household name in 1962.
