The Angel of Kings Cross
The Life and Times of Dr Fanny Reading
By Anne Sarzin
Dr Fanny Reading arrived in Australia in 1889 as a migrant child and felt the loneliness of the newcomer. A brilliant musician and compassionate medical doctor, she created the National Council of Jewish Women of Australia, mentoring thousands of women, bringing them out of their kitchens into the worlds of public debate and policies. A leader on Australia's home-front during World War II, she was a trailblazer, feminist and courageous activist for the disadvantaged at home and abroad.
