Bronwyn Bishop: A Woman In Search of Power (Text Publishing 1994): Bronwyn Bishop has been called many things - Boadicea, a Centurion tank, a Rottweiler with lipstick, the Dallas Cowboys in drag, Attila the Hen, the senator from hell, and Ilsa, she-wolf of North Sydney. She has been attacked, lampooned, parodied and impersonated. To her credit she has always bounced back.
The Whites of Their Eyes (Allen & Unwin 1999): This is a compellilng anthology of 22 profiles, from Richard Carleton to Alan Jones, Mary Fairfax to Xena, Warrior Princess, Andrew Denton to Rose Hancock.
