With deep roots in Australia's Kimberley region, Olive Knight shares her story of growing up with the Gooniyandi and Walmatjarri peoples of northwestern Australia. As the daughter of a half-caste father, she was nearly killed on the day of her birth, as was customary for halfblood children in her community. Thankfully, she was spared by an elder and would follow her own path, full of hardship as she moved from mission to mission. Olive eventually found love and fulfillment, following her husband Jim's passion for Indigenous rights, becoming a respected translator and community leader. After Jim's death, Olive's singing and songwriting opened unexpected worlds of opportunity. From the early days in mission gospel choirs to finding her true voice in country western music, the blues, and rock 'n' roll of the day, Olive's talent as a singer eventually led to collaborations with other artists and performers, many of whom sought her unique voice and ability to translate songs into her traditional language. In 2011, Olive Knight was invited to sing as part of Hugh Jackman's Back on Broadway production. Olive's spirit and compassion continue to inspire as she speaks openly about the challenges of adopting young children in her mature years, and how she hopes to bring greater awareness of and prevention efforts to substance abuse, particularly fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, within Indigenous communities in Australia. Olive Knight's devotion to the preservation and sharing of Indigenous language and culture, and her love of music and poetry, shine in this remarkable autobiography. Author Kankawa Nagarra Olive Knight is a state finalist in the 2017 Australian of the Year Awards. [Subject: Memoir, Aboriginal Studies, Australian Studies, Women's Studies]

Directory of Financial AIDS for Women, 2005-2007

By: Gail Ann Schlachter,R. David Weber

If you are looking for financial aid for women, or know women who are, then this is the directory for you. Here, in one place, are descriptions of nearly 1,500 scholarships, fellowships, loans, forgivable loans, grants, awards, and internships available specifically for women. This funding is open to women at any level (high school through postdoctoral and professional) for study, research, travel, training, career development, or innovative efforts. Each of these funding opportunities is completely described, including contact (address, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, and web sites), purpose, eligibility, financial data, duration, special features, limitations, number awarded, and deadline date. Plus, the directory provides a set of indexes that let you search the listings by specific subject, residency, where the money can be spent, program title, sponsoring organization, and even deadline date. There's no other directory like this for women. It has become the standard in the field! That's why School Library Journal called it "the cream of the crop," College Spotlight concluded "nobody does a better job," Small Press labels it "the quintessential acquisition," American Reference Books Annual called it "a must-purchase guide," and Reference Books Bulletin pronounced it "the only current source of information on financial aid specifically for women.
