Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor edgewear. Previous owner has stamped inside page.

In 1867, Henrietta Augusta Dugdale, dairywoman of Queenscliff, is pushed to breaking point and leaves her fourteen-year marriage.

With access to her children denied, she enters the freethinking world of Melbourne bohemia and sets out to change the law that casts women as property, with no legal rights of their own.

A fearless crusader for women's justice, the indefatigable 'Mrs D.' outclasses those who try to silence or belittle her, all the while haunted by the loss of her three sons, the dark undercurrents of the past and the mysterious fate of her first love.

From newfound facts and family memorabilia, Lynne Leonhardt has created a luminous tale of love, loss, triumph and fortitude, set against the evocative coastal landscape of Port Phillip Bay and the wonder-city of Melbourne at the height of the gold-rush boom.

Step Up, Mrs Dugdale is an unforgettable portrait of a pioneering suffragist - a hero for women, a trailblazer for her time. (back cover)
