Tells of her childhood in working-class Sydney, family tragedies, her illustrious sporting career, and the impact of a ten-year ban following controversy at the Tokyo Olympics. Also traces Fraser's subsequent experiences as a single parent and a publican, and her come-back as an international ambassador for sport. Foreword by John Singleton. Includes colour and black-and-white photographs, bibliography, timeline and sporting achievements, and index. In 1985, the author became the first Australian to be inducted into the American Women's Sports Foundation Hall of Fame, and was also inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame (and has served as its president).
