- catalog abstract ""Olive Pink (1884-1975) was an unconventional anthropologist, an advocate of Aboriginal rights and an early proponent of the cultivation of Australian indigenous plants. Born in Hobart, she moved to Sydney in 1914 and travelled extensively in central Australia, lived in remote areas with the Arrernte and Warlpiri people, and caused much controversy within the anthropological profession." "Olive Pink's ardent political activism brought her into conflict with missionaries, pastoralists and her anthropological colleagues, while her sustained letter-writing campaigns made her the scourge of the public servants and administrators responsible for the wellbeing of Aboriginal people." "Drawing on hundreds of letters and thousands of pages of diaries and notes, Julie Marcus tests the legends and the contemporary assessments of 'Miss Pink' against a range of sources and informants. In The Indomitable Miss Pink: A Life in Anthropology, she traces Olive Pink's life and untangles how she is remembered and mythologised by Australia's Aboriginal and white communities."--Jacket.".
