==Life==
Dora Toll was born in 1903 in Wickham, New South Wales, the sixth daughter of Albert Frederick Toll and Hannah (née Roberts).〔''The Feminist Companion to Literature in English'', eds Virginia Blain, Patricia Clements and Isobel Grundy (London: Batsford, 1990), p. 95.〕 She was ahead of her time in studying at the University of Sydney in a period when few women received a tertiary education. However, she was suspended in 1923 for a poem appearing in the literary magazine ''Hermes'', which describes post-coital bliss. Her future husband poet and journalist Bert Birtles was expelled for a still more explicit poem describing their tryst on the roof of the university quadrangle.〔Barcan, Alan (2002) Radical Students: The Old Left at Sydney University, Melbourne University Press; Carlton South, pp. 27-28.〕〔Bert Birtles, Beauty, http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beauty-432/〕
Birtles returned to Sydney University to take a degree in Oriental history and a diploma of education,〔 and then taught in Newcastle, New South Wales for a short time before travelling to Europe. Before the Second World War she was a member of the International Women's League Against War and Fascism and reported for the ''Newcastle Sun''.〔Sage, Lorna. (1999), ''The Cambridge Guide to Women's Writing in English''(New York; Cambridge University Press), p. 62.〕
Dora Birtles died on 28 January 1992 aged 88.〔IMDb biography. (Retrieved 4 May 2015. )〕
