Currently re reading Bread & Roses, the first volume of Sonja Davies autobiography - haven't read it for years & an enjoying it all over again. I'd forgotten a lot, including that she was born in the same month as me, though much earlier.
She was such an interesting person with huge courage & determination 'steel in the soul' & was well ahead of her time.
There was a TV mini series made by Gaylene Preston some years based on this & the second book, which won several awards.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
