My name is Alexandra Pierce.
My dad was many things, including a national serviceman who served in Vietnam, and later worked for the Dept of Veterans’ Affairs. My mum has also been many things, including the first woman president of the Legacy Club of South Australia & Broken Hill.
I have taught everything from ancient Egypt to the Cold War at Victorian high schools. With Honours in Roman history and a Masters in medieval history, the Vietnam War is very recent history to me.
I am a passionate advocate for putting women back into the historical narrative.
