Carol Sheridan joined a huge group (for the era) of some Five Thousand women parading the streets of Sydney after the United Nations’ proclamation of International Year of Women in March, 1975. On November 11 that year, as she began her final exams for the Arts segment of her Arts/Law degree, Sir John Kerr dismissed the Whitlam Government. Along with most feminists, Carol feared for the future of hard-won reforms when the Conservative Party returned to power after the following Federal elections.
Convinced she can make a difference in the lives of women, she evolves her own subversive strategy to counter patriarchy from within while completing her first year at St James Law School, exposing herself along the way to the difficulties, dramas and betrayals that affect herself and her friends.
