Descripción

First hand accounts in letters and diaries of the conditions experienced by the women who settled the Australian Bush in the 19th century. "From Annie Baxter, writing to sustain herself through a miserable marriage to a military man and failed farmer, to Ellen Moger, whose letter to her parents told of the death of three of her four young children from starvation on the journey out, women wrote to keep in touch with their old lives and to make some kind of private sense of the new. Yet all would have agreed with Annie Baxter when, after being bled with a penkife, she wrote to a friend, "Oh! ye nervous ladies, never come to the bush!" 284p. illus bibliography. Donor inscription. else fine.
