I was born at Tumby Bay on Spencer Gulf in November 1940, the daughter of John Roe, farmer, and Edna Ivy, nee Heath, nurse and housewife. I left Eyre Peninsula in early 1955 for further schooling in Adelaide. Current wisdom has it that mothers are the most important factor in shaping girls’ ambitions. This is dubious historically and, in my case, perforce untrue. My mother died on 13 January 1942 in a private hospital in Adelaide after a long illness when I was fourteen months old. She died, in the words of the death certificate, of ‘pulmonary tuberculosis, some months’, or, as her sister said grimly, of washing too many sheets. In today’s terms, it was a preventable death. Had the necessary antibiotics been available, she may have recovered, despite four pregnancies in seven years and vulnerability to tuberculosis, which had already carried off one of her sisters.
