Subtitle: 36 Women that Changed the Course of Australia.
Stories of committed and resourceful women who demanded something different from the restricted lives of their mothers and grandmothers.
The achievements of Australian women have long been overshadowed by the deeds of Australian men. Susanna de Vries has challenged this with her provocative book detailing the life stories of 36 courageous Australian women who broke down the barriers of prejudice.
Featuring heroines such as Mary Penfold, co-founder of Penfold wines; Lillie Goodisson, pioneer of family planning; Mary MacKillop, Australia's first beatified saint; and Stelia Miles Franklin, one of Australia's most widely acclaimed authors; Susanna examines the lives of women who have influenced thousands through their achievements. These are the women that helped to forge the Australia we know today.
'The Complete Book Of Great Australian Women', a combination of Susanna de Vries' bestselling books 'Great Australian Women' and 'Great Australian Women Volume 2', tells the story of Australian women who changed the course of history.
