Biographical Text
Saolaíodh Elisabeth i Melbourne i 1970, agus chaith sí formhór a hóige ag taisteal lena muintir. Bhain sí céim mhúinteoireachta amach agus thosaigh sí ag taisteal timpeall an domhain. Chaith sí tréimhsí ag taisteal i Meiriceá agus san Eoraip, stop sí in Éirinn i 1992, agus phós sí fear ó Ros Cré, mar a bhfuil sí ina cónaí fós. Chaith sí roinnt ama ag obair sa tSeapáin agus chuaigh sí thar n-ais go dtí an Astráil cúpla uair. Ghnóthaigh sí céim MA san Oideachas le déanaí. Foilsíodh leabhar amháin léi, beathaisnéis mhná ó Thiobraid Árann, Daisy Bates, a d'oibrigh i measc na ndaoine dúchasacha san Astráil, agus aistríodh an leabhar seo go Gaeilge.
