When the eminent kidney specialist Priscilla Kincaid-Smith first arrived in Melbourne in 1959 her plan to practise as a researcher and clinician in her chosen field came up against the Australian rule that married women could not be appointed to such positions. In this refreshingly frank and forthright interview, Kincaid-Smith reveals the personal qualities that brought her spectacular success and enabled her, in spite of powerful opposition, to contribute so effectively to the wider community.
