Margaret Lilardia Tucker MBE, also known as Aunty Marge, was a pioneering Aboriginal activist and one of the first Aboriginal women to write for mainstream readers. Her influential book, “If Everyone Cared” (1977), was initially altered to appeal to non-Indigenous audiences. This new edition restores Tucker’s authentic voice, drawn from her original manuscript archived at the National Library of Australia. It chronicles her childhood, challenges at the Cootamundra Domestic Training Home for Aboriginal Girls, and lifelong dedication to advocating for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander rights. This autobiography celebrates Tucker’s resilience and her significant contributions to her community’s recognition and empowerment.
