Aboriginal Women by Degrees
Now included in UQP's First Nations Classics series with an introduction from Amy Thunig-McGregor, Aboriginal Women by Degrees follows the inspiring journeys of thirteen First Nations women into tertiary education.
From a unique personal perspective, thirteen women tell of their journeys towards the significant achievement of a university degree. Although from different backgrounds, language groups and experiences, these women share the common thread of Aboriginal heritage. Some combined their studies with the challenge of family responsibilities while others pursued academic degrees as younger students. Their various paths to achieving their degrees led them to universities across Australia and even, for some, to prestigious Harvard University.
Humorous, reflective and proud, these voices speak of youthful aspirations, of family sacrifice and support, and of triumphant achievement. These are stories that illuminate the rich diversity of Aboriginal lives in contemporary Australia.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
