Nothing to Spare: Recollections of Australian Pioneering Women by Jan Carter

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page. Body text and binding are still very good.

A series of sensitively etched portraits of women who have experienced nearly a century of Western Australia's history between 1890 and 1918.

Jan Carter reaches into the lives of women whose situations range from a butcher's wife who delivered each of her seventeen children alone in a tent to a bishop's daughter who took her upper-class position for granted.
