About The Book

<p>Throughout her lifetime Ellie Gaffney has been a strong advocate both within Australia and internationally of the interests and welfare of Torres Strait Islanders.</p><p>She has been particularly committed to advancing the rights of Indigenous women. Her interests have spanned a wide spectrum of concerns.</p><p>As an administrator Ellie Gaffney played a significant part in the development of hostel accommodation and primary health care for all Torres Strait Islanders. Ellie's work in establishing the Mura Kosker Sorority as a platform for change is widely recognised.</p><p>At all times she has been an eloquent and determined presenter of the real situation of Torres Strait Islanders.</p><p>In recognition of her contribution to the Torres Strait and its people Ellie was appointed a Member of the General Division of the Order of Australia (AM) in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.</p><p>This memoir covers the period since the publication of her first book <em>Somebody Now</em> some twenty fours years ago. In doing so she shares with us and future generations her personal journey a task she has undertaken at a time of failing health. It is a fitting reminder of the work and stature of a dedicated woman.</p><p>Readers of this manuscript will be inspired by Ellie Gaffney's efforts on behalf of Torres Strait Islanders and all Indigenous people.</p>
