Now included in UQP's First Nations Classics series with an introduction from Amy Thunig-McGregor, Aboriginal Women by Degrees follows the inspiring journeys of thirteen First Nations women into tertiary education.
From a unique personal perspective, thirteen women tell of their journeys towards the significant achievement of a university degree. Although from different backgrounds, language groups and experiences, these women share the common thread of Aboriginal heritage. Some combined their studies with the challenge of family responsibilities while others pursued academic degrees as younger students. Their various paths to achieving their degrees led them to universities across Australia and even to prestigious Harvard University.
