Anne Richards’ new book is about growing up radical in a conservative family, in a state ruled by a reactionary government, in an era of profound cultural and political upheaval.

A Book of Doors is Anne’s story of reaching adulthood as Australia and the Western world were reaching a turning point – when the personal was recognised as political, when oppressed people were demanding their fundamental rights, and young people were calling for a new society.

People took to the streets to demand peace and freedom, to end the war in Vietnam, to dismantle Apartheid, to unwind patriarchy, and to make sure their voices were heard.

Join Anne as she discusses her life and her new book A Book of Doors.
