Our Opinion \ Why should she be a significant Australian?
Firstly, that she was a medical scientist and doctor. We admire the qualities she had. She is inspirational because she tried hard and and never gave up on doing something and making use of herself. She did become "Some use of the world". Her quote "No standing back" means that she never gave up. She had to overcome many challenges, one of them, The First World War. At the time she went to University, Australian Soldiers were fighting at war. Jean Macnamara had to overcome many challenges and try really hard to be a doctor, as many people at that time didn't go to University. She is an inspiring Australian.
Secondly, Jean Macnamara also had to fight to become a doctor, as the hospital authorities were reluctant to employ her as they had no woman toilet facilities. This was a challenge as she wanted to be a doctor but she could not as the hospital had said no at first. She would not stand back. This is another reason her quote is "NO STANDING BACK". She never gave up and we should all aspire to be like her.
