'Margaret Elaine Whitlam (nee Dovey) AO (born 19 November 1919 in Sydney, New South Wales) is a prominent Australian personality and the wife of former Prime Minister of Australia Gough Whitlam. Whitlam is a published author, social worker and former champion swimmer, having represented Australia at the 1938 British Empire Games in Sydney. She is known for having a sardonic wit equal to that of her husband.

She married Gough Whitlam in 1942, and together they have three sons and a daughter. One of their sons, Nicholas Whitlam, became a prominent banker and a controversial figure in his own right. Another son, Tony Whitlam, was briefly a federal MP.

Whitlam was made an Officer of the Order of Australia in 1983, for services to the community.[1]
