Anne Deveson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anne Deveson (born c. 1930, Malaya) is an Australian writer, broadcaster, filmmaker and social commentator.
During World War II, Deveson's family moved to Western Australia from Malaya as refugees. She attempted a Science degree in England, but dropped out to pursue other interests. Deveson was one of many broadcasters who opposed non-communist involvement in Vietnam.
Deveson's son developed schizophrenia and committed suicide. She wrote about her experience, and then translated her work into a film. Her latest book, Resilience, was written after the sudden death of her partner.
