Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has stamped inside page with "rejected copy - not for sale under copyright", perhaps relating to the lack of clear secondary sale copyright legislation in Australia.

A re-visioning of Australian history that challenges the conventional view of Australia's past as a creation of white men of British descent.

In sustaining families and multicultural communities, creating wealth, shaping the welfare state or inscribing cultural meaning to our shared experiences, women have been major actors in colonial and national dramas.
