Great pioneer women of the outback: facing hardship, danger and deprivation

In the 1800s, the first white farmers and graziers making their homes in the outback were joined by their wives, many of whom had no idea what lay in store. This book profiles Australia's women pioneers and records the extraordinary grit and determination it took to build what many today would consider an ordinary life.
