The introduction describes Monica Clare's life experiences of growing up as an adoptee as well as the events that took place later in her life during her first marriage. As an Aboriginal activist she was particulary interested in assimilatory practices both personally and politically. Clare also faced problems of identity problems that led her to committing herself to tireless work in the quest for political and social equality. Her honesty and strong principles enabled her to become a well respected and loved member of both the black and white community.Clare died suddenly on National Aborigines Day, 13th July, 1973.
