This biographical sketch traces the life path of one of the famous women of the Commonwealth of Australia — Senator and wife of J. Bjelke-Petersen, the head of the Queensland government, who led this state for almost 20 years. This couple has always attracted the closest public attention in Australia. Unlike her husband, whose activities divided society into the ardent admirers and the irreconcilable opponents of “Bjelkism” in politics, Florence Bjelke-Petersen managed to win the sympathy of many fellow citizens by her example both as a faithful wife and caring mother, and as a thinking politician of the National Party of Australia, often acting on her own in the 1980s and early 1990s. However, in our country, she was almost never mentioned as well as many representatives of the right flank in the political life of the Commonwealth of Australia.
