Dorothy Coade Hewett (1923-2002) was a major Australian playwright, poet and novelist, a true innovator of the theatre and a feminist icon. She fearlessly tackled all kinds of issues and shibboleths, setting her own direction and encouraging others to find their own path. This is the first book-length biographical work on Dorothy Hewett. Like some of her best-known work, it has multiple perspectives, in which different people give their views of Dorothy, her life and work. This colours her complexity as a writer and as a person, while charting her setbacks along her rise to fame. It is a book of love from all who knew her.
