Dr Anne Aly was the first Muslim-Australian woman, the first Egyptian-born woman, and the first counterterrorism expert to be elected to federal parliament. Her book Finding My Place is the fascinating and moving story of a Muslim girl growing up in suburban Australia in the seventies. It’s an irresistible story by an irrepressible Australian woman.
