Glenda Korporaal – ‘Making Magic – the Marion Mahony Griffin story’

Glenda Korporaal - book cover

Glenda is the  Associate  editor   on  Business  in The Australian. Her biography  on Marion Griffin was a labour of love that charts the amazing talents and contribution of  the wife of the architect of Canberra, the more famous  Walter Burley Griffin. Her book has lots of interesting photographs of Marion’s beautiful watercolour architectural drawings . This story exposes once again how history has been fond of editing out the contribution of professional women  in our society. Glenda had a world wide search to find all the pieces of Marion’s life and the result is an illuminating potrait of an extraordinary woman.
