History is our present in the making. An appreciation of occupational therapy's origins, and of key people who contributed to its development, are important to understanding the current place of our profession in health care. This paper sketches the story of Margaret Mort, an historically significant Australian occupational therapist, from her early years as a wartime therapist to her later years as a pioneer in geriatric rehabilitation. Her work exemplifies principles which underpin contemporary occupational therapy practice and which this article chronicles for the edification of those curious about our profession's rich history
