'I was born into a world that expected very little of women like
me. We were meant to tread lightly on the earth, influencing events
through our husbands and children, if at all. We were meant to fade
into invisibility as we aged. I defied all of these expectations
and so have millions of women like me.' This is the compelling
story of Anne Summers' extraordinary life. Her story has her
travelling around the world as she moves from job to job, in
newspapers and magazines, advising prime ministers, leading
feminist debates, writing memorable and influential books. Anne has
not been afraid to walk away from success and to satisfy her
constant restlessness by charging down new and risky paths.
Whatever position she has held, she has expanded what's possible
and helped us see things differently-often at high personal cost.
Anne shares revealing stories about the famous and powerful people
she has worked with or reported on and is refreshingly frank about
her own anxieties and mistakes. She shares a heart-breaking story
of family violence and tells of her ultimate reconciliation with
the father who had rejected her. Unfettered and Alive is a
provocative and inspiring memoir from someone who broke through so
many boundaries to show what women can do. It's the story of a lot
of things - Australian politics, feminism, journalism,
international intrigue - but most of all it's the story of an
utterly singular woman, who always says "Yes" to life even when it
scares her. Her memory for the events, and her frankness about the
fear, make this an extraordinary memoir.' - Annabel Crabb
'Exhilarating and what storytelling!' - Quentin Bryce 'The
compelling memoir of a magnificent woman.' - David Marr
