Great Australian Women: From Pioneering Days to the Present

The achievements of Australian women have long been overshadowed by the deeds of Australian men. Susanna de Vries remedied this with her outstanding book Great Australian Women.

Now, in this second volume, more Australian women are celebrated for their hard work, intelligence, talent, dedication and compassion. These are women who have affected the lives of thousands through their achievements, be they inspired painters, writers, pianists, singers, humanitarians, wine-makers, spies, aviators, nurses or doctors.

These are the women who broke through the barriers of society's expectations and helped to found the Australia we know today. An ideal present for Mother’s Day or to show younger women how far women have come and the difficulties they have had to be taken seriously.
