Author(s) Hilary Rubinstein AbstractBook Review: She was the first truly emancipated person of her sex I had encountered. . . . Forthright, unconventional and completely fearless.' So recalled a former student of Camilla Wedgwood, the Englishwoman who became lecturer in anthropology at the University of Sydney in 1928 and was, from 1935 to her resignation in 1944, principal of its Women's College. During her tenure as principal she used the authority arising from her personality and her office to lobby the Australian Government on behalf of refugees from Nazism, and she was also a staunch advocate of the Zionist cause.
