An obituary in the Sydney Morning Herald records that Myfanwy Gollan (1933-2013), partner of well-known public intellectual, republican and anti White Australia Policy activist Donald Horne, was a passionate campaigner in her own right. Ms Gollan was an organiser of the Citizens for Democracy campaign from 1976 to 1983 and helped to design a travelling exhibition on the history of Australian democracy. When her husband was campaigning for the republic in the 1990s, she supported the cause by travelling the country to interview 16 people about why they were republicans. The interviews formed the basis of “The Coming Republic”, published in 1992, for which she is listed as a contributor in her own right, if not correctly as co-author.
