Eva Bacon settled in Australia after Hitler's invasion of Austria in 1938. Jim McIlroy, in his tribute to Eva in the Green Left Weekly, writes that "she continued her life-long struggle for peace, socialism and the emancipation of women in her new homeland through her activism in the Communist Party of Australia and a variety of of other progressive organisations."
Eva was a member of the Communist Party of Australia, the Union of Australian Women and the Women's Electoral Lobby. She was also a founding member of the International Womens' Day Committee. She was married to her husband Ted for almost 50 years and they had one daughter, Barbara.
