Jill Ker Conway in Three Volumes

For book group this month, we read The Road from Coorain, Jill Ker Conway's personal memoirs chronicling her life from birth to age 25 in Austrailia. Because I liked it so much, I went on to read True North about her life at Harvard as a history graduate student, her marriage, and her move to Canada with her husband to pursue work as a professork, and then as a university administrator, at the University of Toronto. Ker Conway also wrote a third personal memoir, A Woman's Education, detailing her 10 years as the first female president of Smith College.

I thought I could condense all three into one post, but after writing 750 words about The Road from Coorain, I have decided to separate them.
