A unique biography of political figure John Lee Laurie, a key proponent of Indigenous rights in the 1940s and 50s. Ruth Gorman worked tirelessly alongside Laurie during these years, and was herself a major force in mobilizing public opinion. She began work on a book about Laurie but as she neared the end of her life became overwhelmed by its scope.
