‘Maurice and Doris Blackburn were major figures in the history of the Australian labour movement and feminist and Indigenous activism in this country. Maurice’s name lives on in the influential national law firm he founded, but their many contributions to principled decency in Australian public life are now largely forgotten. They needed, as Carolyn Rasmussen puts it, to be “rescued from the footnotes”. In this meticulously comprehensive biography, she has succeeded admirably in doing just that’—Gareth Evans
