'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. It's a story that has
her travelling around the world as she moves from jobs in
newspapers and magazines, advising prime ministers, and global
leader of Greenpeace, all the while leading feminist debates and
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 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
of the ultimate reconciliation with the father who had rejected
her. Unfettered and Alive is a provocative and surprising 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
