Her Selection: Writings by Nineteenth-Century Australian Women edited with an introduction by Lynne Spender

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

The stories, letters and diaries extracted here provide a refreshingly different view of life during the period when Australia changed from a convict colony to a nation.

From the story of the proud, strong Maida Gwynnham (alias Martha Grylis), a female convict transported to Van Diemen's Land, to the sophisticated novels written by professional writers, Her Selection covers a period time and a range of experiences that will fascinate and inform readers. (back cover)
