Sydney, 1973-74.
Carol Sheridan begins her five year degree in Arts/Law at Sydney University amidst conflicting ideas about the role of women. Independent, free-thinking, and privileged through the income of a Testamentary Trust, the friends who crowd her new existence – way-out Zandra, conservative Anna, ‘Gerry for short’ Geraldine, share her experiences amidst turbulent times.
Full of authentic public events that background personal adventures, the novel is a convincing portrayal of life for women in the 1970s.
