Book Description
Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Has a Australian Stockmans Hall of Fame stamp on title page.
Marie Mahood's stories reveal that Australia's outback women spend all day doing the difficult stuff while their men play around with bulls, bared wire and beer. Henry Lawson may have immortalised the Drovers' Wife, but Marie Mahood immortalises the ringer's wife, or rather the ringer and his wife and family who become battling cattle station owners.
This book contains stories previously published in Bleating About the Bush and Back at Sundown and new material. (Back cover)
