Clouds on My Window by May O'brien

May O'Brien was fifteen in 1947 when she started to work in Liberty Hall, the dark and down-at-heel union headquarters that sat brooding beside the river Liffey. Life was a struggle for May and her family and she was glad to be able to contribute financially; she was glad, too, to find that she was appreciated in work. After her first three months in the job, as the bookends, she reflects that she's learnt a lot from her union colleagues since she entered Liberty Hall as an impressionable school leaver.
May O'Brien worked for the Western Australian Ministry of Education for 34 years, first as a teacher and a consultant to the Aboriginal Education Branch and finally as superintendent of Aboriginal Education. May's contribution to education and to Aboriginal education in particular was awarded the British Empire Medal in 1977.
