About the author

Anne Whitehead, author and historian, was born in Sydney but spent much of her childhood in England and Papua-New Guinea. Because of a peripatetic engineer father, she was educated at eleven schools, including Lincolnshire and Yorkshire villages, the PNG highland goldfields and coastal town of Lae, and boarding schools in Charters Towers and the Queensland Gold Coast. In 1972 she graduated from the University of Sydney with an MA in Australian Literature and later (2001) a PhD in Government and International Relations.
