Margaret Diesendorf
[edit]- ... that poet and educator Margaret Diesendorf's letters to the editor of the Sydney Morning Herald earned her the title "the Conscience of New South Wales"?

Interesting article about an interesting woman, well sourced, offline sources accepted AGF. The hook doesn't reflect her many languages, nor her poetry, I wonder if writing to the editor deserves so much space, also don't think "title" is the word for the phrase. Wonder about "educator" vs. "educationist" and "editing" vs. "editting". Suggestions to play with:
- ALT1: ... that poet, translator and educator Margaret Diesendorf, born in Vienna and raised in Hungary, was described as "the Conscience of New South Wales"?
- ALT2: ... that Australian poet, translator and educator Margaret Diesendorf was in Vienna at age 23 the youngest recipient of a PhD for her thesis on Expressionism?
- You will get more hits mentioning her Jewish friend. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:11, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
- The story that I would like to tell is that of her dramatic escape from the SS at the Swiss border, but unfortunately there is no written source. I don't know why it wasn't included included it in the biography in "Strauss to Matilda". Amandajm (talk) 06:58, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you! The prep-builder can decide on one of the hooks, unless you prefer one or have a new idea.
