Charmian Clift, a writer who was ahead of her time, fearlessly combined personal and political themes in her essays. After spending years in the artistic community of Hydra in Greece, Clift and her husband George Johnston returned to Australia in 1964. Upon their return to Sydney, Clift discovered that her views were more progressive than those of many of her fellow Australians. This collection of essays, curated and introduced by her biographer Nadia Wheatley, spans the tumultuous and transformative years of the 1960s. Through these subtle yet significant revolutions, as Clift referred to them, she championed the rights of women, migrants, advocated for social justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, opposed conscription and the Vietnam War, recognized Australia's role in the Asia-Pacific region, fought censorship, called for the establishment of an Australian film industry, and much more. In doing so, Clift established a new standard for the essay form in Australian literature.
