'The poems in Making a Stand demand our attention. As contemporary as the daily news cycle, they treasure the past, predict a future of consequence. Responding to government ministers, media commentators, scientists, artists, and more, Erica Jolly's language rings with both emotion and sharply honed critique. It refuses to be silent in the face of injustice and inequity. This powerful voice for inclusion lures us in, encourages us to consider our position, urges us to make a stand for a fairer, more civil society.' - Ian Gibbins, Emeritus Professor of Anatomy, Flinders University' (Publication summary)

Each of these men contributed in significant but intangible ways to my education.
And it is time my mother received the acknowledgement due to her for her role in my education.
Dorothy Woolford Jolly [1897-1984]
