Theatre, music, literature, the visual arts, dance, radio and television, architecture and religion all contribute to the construction of a cultural identity.

Farewell Cinderella brings together, for the first time, a range of perspectives on how these branches of the arts and culture have reflected and represented Western Australia's social history, its changing values, its landscape, and its sense of place in the world.

Narratives on Western Australian arts and culture by nine writers who are specialists in their fields are complemented by photographs, some in colour and many drawn from archival sources. Writers include David Hough, Lynn Fisher, Jean Farrant, Richard Rossiter, Neville Weston, Brian Shoesmith, Leigh Edmonds, Christopher Crouch and Peter Bedford.
