Australian

This is the story of the lives of 11 significant women who sailed to the colonies in Australia's founding years. Letters and portraits help bring these women to life and describe the dangers and deprivations of pioneering in the 6 colonies that would unite at Federation to form one nation - Australia. These tales of women triumphing over adversity document the early decades of a nation and are told with great panache by Susanna de Vries.
