Written with sharp wit and unflinching honesty, the book chronicles her journey through the turbulent corridors of power, recounting the fierce opposition, personal sacrifice, and quiet triumphs that defined a career forged in a world built to exclude her. She paints a vivid portrait of mid-century Australian politics, bringing to life the allies, adversaries, and complex personalities who shaped the nation's destiny — the carrion crows of the title a pointed commentary on the opportunists and critics who circled throughout her life.\n\nDame Enid writes with the authority of lived experience and the grace of a natural storyteller, her prose both intimate and panoramic in its sweep. The memoir stands as a significant document of Australian social and political history, illuminating the challenges faced by women in public office long before such discussions entered the mainstream. Rich with personal anecdote and political insight, it is a testament to resilience and conviction — and a reminder that the battles Dame Enid fought, far from being relics of the past, resonate with a power that is entirely present.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336809881819,"sku":"2026100008810-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2d5a82cc-399c-4d34-838c-19cddf5831a3.png?v=1789958316","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008810-secondhand-among-the-carrion-crows","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
