Summary

Daisy M. Bates, worker among the Aborigines. Known as "The Protector of Aborigines", she studied their life, history, culture, rites, beliefs and customs. She did not try to teach or convert them. She fought against the policy to assimilate Aboriginal people into white Australian society and resisted the sexual exploitation of Aboriginal women by white men. She lived in a tent amongst them and was noted for her strict Edwardian fashion. In this photograph she is wearing a tightly fitted suit, high collared shirt, tie and turban with her famous round framed glasses.
