Tillfälligt slut

Social reformer, peace activist, policy advisor, Kay Carmichael keenly observed the downtrodden and effected much of the social reform we take for granted. This collection of her essays and writings - many from her column in New Society in the 1980s reflect a courageous spirit in crystal clear prose. Her dying was as controversial as her life and her thoughts on death are things we need to hear and discuss for ourselves and for our young.
