Description: The extraordinary story of how a devoted nun became an equally devoted campaigner for justice as a successful criminal defence lawyer. When Yvonne Benedicta Swift entered the Sacre Coeur convent in Rose Bay in 1938, she was determined to dedicate herself to religious life. But in the 1970s she did something unusual: retrained as a lawyer, established her own practice and defended some of Sydney's most notorious criminals.In her shift to the law, Swifty, as she was known, left behind an impressive career as principal of the Rose Bay School of the Sacred Heart, and later Sancta Sophia College at the University of Sydney. Edmund Campion's biography of this extraordinary woman, who treated everyone from bishops to bikies equally, is a truly unusual and remarkable one.
