Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Some chipping and creasing near spine. Inscribed by author.

Memoir of an Italian woman who migrated to Australia post-WWII. This is the remarkable story of what it was really like to be an Italo-Australian woman in the 1950s and 1960s.

Vilified by racist taunts, repressed by the Church, exploited by the sweat-box factory owners, these women also had to carry the responsibilities of raising their families.
