#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Grace Tame is perhaps the most influential Australian of the Year in recent memory. Her fight to tell her own story culminates with The Ninth Life of a Diamond Miner, an extraordinary memoir by a young woman whose passionate, plain-spoken tenacity has left an indelible mark on political life in Australia. With trademark wit and honesty, Tame proves as stirring a writer as she is a speaker: a rebellious firebrand whose story has only just begun.
