Conway’s The Road from Coorain presents a vivid memoir of coming of age in Australia. In 1960, however, she had reached the limits of that provincial–and irredeemably sexist–society and set off for America. True North–the testament of an extraordinary woman living in an extraordinary time–tells the profound story of the challenges that confronted Conway, as she sought to establish her public self.
