Biography & Memoir

Women's Studies Personal Memoirs Cultural Heritage Journalism Interpersonal Relations

Raging Partners: Two Worlds, One Friendship brings together journalists Ollie Smith and Diana Plater in a frank Australian memoir that charts the sparks and solidarity of an unlikely cross-cultural partnership. Their shared bylines and private battles reveal how two women from vastly different backgrounds co-author a life in newsrooms long hostile to female voices.

This illustrated biography, signed on the front page by one of the authors, pairs candid personal essays with rarely-seen newsroom sketches that capture the adrenaline of late deadlines and the quiet moments after. Magabala Books’ 2000 trade paperback edition, 240 pages, remains a key text for readers interested in cultural heritage, women’s studies, and the psychology of collaboration.

Foxing appears on the preliminary pages and closed edge, yet the binding is tight and every page perfectly readable; a collector’s copy that carries its history honestly. Young adults and adults curious about media life, Indigenous and non-Indigenous relations, or simply an inspiring friendship will find this signed copy a conversation-starting addition to any shelf.
