As president of the Australian Human Rights
Commission, Gillian Triggs advocated for
the disempowered, the disenfranchised
and the marginalised. Widely admired
and occasionally excoriated for her
performance in this role, she retired from the
position when her five-year tenure expired in
2017. In this memoir, Triggs recounts details
of her impressive career, which included a
stint as Dean of the Sydney Law School, and
shares with readers the values that have
guided her convictions and the causes she
has championed. She dares us all to move
beyond our comfort zones to achieve equity
for all. And she argues persuasively for an
Australian Bill of Rights.
