Description

Fay Marles made history when she became the first woman Chancellor of the University of Melbourne in February 2001, but firsts were not unusual for her: she had already served as Victoria's first Equal Opportunity Commissioner. She was later to recall how her first lecture was also the first lecture given at the university by the distinguished historian Professor Manning. She eventually became Victorian Commissioner for Equal Opportunity, an office she held from 1977 to 1987, and for which she is probably best known. In 'Aiming for the Skies', Marles reflects on a life rich in both personal and professional achievements.
