Dr Elizabeth Taylor's career epitomises the episodic and changing nature of professional development for twenty-first century women. Following her earlier incarnations as teacher, social worker and politician, she has recently embraced a new identity as writer, biographer and historian. Elizabeth has delivered papers at Melbourne and Edinburgh Universities on gender and imperialism; her first published work appeared in late 2012 as a chapter in Seizing the Initiative: Australian Women Leaders, and she was short-listed for the 2013 Hazel Rowley Literary Fellowship prize.
