Palmer, Helen G. (Helen Gwynneth), 1917-1979 Helen Palmer was a prominent Australian socialist, Marxist, educator and publisher. Bioline. The importance and significance of Helen Palmer's political contribution to heterodox Marxism and non-sectarian socialism cannot be understated. Both through her underground circulation of the Secret Speech, and through the provision of finance and enormous personal effort for a democratically edited journal of heterodox Marxism and non-sectarian Socialism, Helen's political contribution defined the mentality of non-dogmatic social protest and social justice leftism that has provided a counterpart to the militant trade union movement. Palmer's status as a leader of Australian communist thought was unusual for a number of reasons: Australian socialist thinkers have been rare, were rarer still at the time outside of Communist Parties, and she was unique during her period for being a woman while leading an ideological movement in Australia.
