Biographical Note
Ann Veronica Hurley was born in Sydney in 1926, and studied history at the University of Sydney (BA Hons 1946). Receiving first-class Honours, she was awarded a scholarship to London University, but after a successful first year she left to become a research assistant. Hurley married Michael Cousins in 1951. After the divorce in 1954 she became research assistant to Lord Beaverbrook, working on his book Men and power, 1917-1918 (1956). In 1957, she married Colonel Everest Mozley, but the marriage did not last. She returned to Australia in 1958 and became the founding Assistant Editor of the Australian Dictionary of Biography until 1962, the year in which she married the mathematician Jose (Joe) Moyal. She then co-authored the memoirs of former prime minister Earle Page, Truant surgeon: the inside story of forty years of Australian political life (1963). Working as an independent scholar, she devoted herself to the history of Australian science, publishing two works which established her as a leader in the field: A Guide to the Manuscript Records of Australian Science (1966) and Scientists in nineteenth century Australia: a documentary history (1976).
In 1972 Moyal accepted a position as Lecturer in the History of Science at the New South Wales Institute of Technology. Her article, 'The Australian Atomic Energy Commission: A Case Study in Australian Science and Government' (Search 6 [1975, No. 9]: 365-380) made her reputation as the leading Australian expert on the history of atomic energy in Australia, and she was named foundation director of the Science Policy Research Centre at Griffith University (Brisbane). Moyal resigned from this position in 1979.
Moyal's later writings include Clear across Australia: a history of telecommunications (1984); A bright and savage land: scientists in colonial Australia (1986); Platypus (2001); Breakfast with Beaverbrook: memoirs of an independent woman (1995); The web of science (2003); The Koala; a historical biography (2008); and A woman of influence (2014). In 1995 Moyal co-founded and was inaugural President of the Independent Scholars Association of Australia. She was made a member of the Order of Australia in 1993 for her 'contribution to the history of Australian science', elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities in 1997, and awarded a Centenary Medal in 2001, a LittD by the ANU in 2003 and an Hon D Phil by the University of Sydney in 2007.
