An Activist Life - Christine Milne autobiography

Christine Milne grew up in Latrobe, in Tasmania's northwest, and began her career as a high school English teacher. She entered Tasmania's House of Assembly as the Tasmanian Greens member for Lyons in 1989, led the Tasmanian Greens from 1993 to 1998 — the first woman to lead a political party in Tasmania — and served as a Senator for Tasmania from 2005 to 2015, becoming the first woman to lead the Australian Greens in 2012. Told through objects from her personal and political life, An Activist Life covers political deal-making, climate policy, and the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers, as well as what she describes as the sacrifices and sexism she faced as a woman in politics.
