Synopsis

Ann Moyal's is a life lived to the full, if at times unconventionally. Three-times married, she has always sought to balance her life as a woman with her varied career: working with the vivid and controversial Lord Beaverbrook, co-founding the Australian Dictionary of Biography, becoming a 'cause celebre' as an academic at Griffith University, and later choosing independence and emerging as a leading social hisotrian of Australian science, telecommunication and technology.

In Breakfast With Beaverbrook she has balanced an exploration of her early life and career highlights on the world's stage with the more complex strands of maturity and achievement.

Moyal's life has been a rich and diverse intellectual experience, yet she tells of it in a simple ... engaging style. -- Sunday Age
