Raging Partners : Two Worlds, One Friendship

Biography & Memoir

Raging Partners: Two Worlds, One Friendship pairs Australian journalist Ollie Smith with writer Diana Plater in a frank biography of an unlikely alliance. Their 2000 memoir traces how two women from separate worlds forged a working partnership that reshaped both their careers and personal lives.

This illustrated Magabala Books paperback carries 240 pages of cultural heritage, women’s studies and interpersonal reflection aimed at young-adult and adult readers. Signed copies are scarce, making this trade edition a collectible slice of Australian journalism history.

The book shows foxing on the early pages and fore-edge; the binding is tight and pages remain fully readable. Expect age-toned paper, not pristine white, and plan for gentle handling to preserve the author’s inked signature on the title page.
