As Australia's most recognised and best-loved sportswoman, Dawn Fraser has held our attention for almost half a century, having burst onto the scene as a gutsy and talented swimmer in the 1950's. A multiple gold medal winner over 3 consecutive Olympics, Dawn has lived a remarkable but hard life. Born in working-class Sydney, Dawn has struggled with illness, family tragedy, bureaucratic opposition and personal demons to live a life filled with remarkable achievements. It has also been a life punctuated by terrible loss and sadness. A story of both the athlete and the women, Dawn finally tells the full account of how her gloittering swimming career was cut brutally short after triumph in Tokyo, and her clash with rigid authority. She describes her loving yet tumultuos marriage and the years that followed as a single parent trying to scrape a living in obscurity before her trimphant come-back in Atlanta are some of her most fraught and the most touching. * Good condition - minor wear * Hardback * Hodder - 2001
