Women’s History

Pioneer women of the bush and outback
By Jennifer Isaacs

Pioneer Women of the Bush and OutbackLansdowne Publishing 1990Ranging from the beginnings of inland settlement up to recent times, Pioneer Women offers a comprehensive and detailed account of those "ordinary" women who not only bore and reared their children and made their homes in terrible isolation but helped build houses, yards and fences and coped with natural disasters and the twin plagues of rabbits and dust. Drawn from many sources including unpublished diaries, photographs in private families, library material, oral history and interview, Isaacs paints a graphic picture of the lives of those who "knew what is was like to cope with little, to make things from scraps, bags, tins and boxes, and to cook a big dinner over an open fire".
