This text provides insight into the life and work of a woman whom so many Australians now recognize one of their own - an ‘Aussie Battler' in the richest sense of the term.

The list of her attributes, like her contribution to the rights of marginalized Australians is a lengthy one.Each one of us has a genuine need for authentic role models to encourage us and inspire us. In Mary MacKillop, we are presented with a very ordinary Australian woman whose story is a touchstone for so many of this country and therein lies both her accessibility and her appeal, Immigrant parents, difficult family circumstances, financial hardships, hopes put on hold --- these are some of the aspects of her life that we recognize - if not in ourselves then in the lives of others we know.
