Historian Ann Moyal has led a fascinating life. As a young adult she was the research assistant to Lord Beaverbrook - a vibrant British political player during the World Wars. In her sixties, Ann believed she had told her life story when she published the autobiographical Breakfast with Beaverbrook. But - inspired by the bemoaned lack of interesting late-life stories - Ann decided to recount her rich later years. In A Woman of Influence Ann, now a Doctor of Letters, tells of her life's work in Australian science history, and the many important people she met along the way. She also writes insightfully about our social and political challenges, and intimately about life's great commonalities: love and loss. The cover image of the author is a painting by Pamela Thalben-Ball, which is housed in the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra.
