In this unique collection, nine Aboriginal women from around the country recount their lives. These are ordinary women – mothers, grandmothers, workers – with extraordinary life experiences. Their stories vary widely, but all touch in some way on what it has been like to grow up as a black woman in white Australia. Heartfelt, funny, courageous, disturbing, poignant, angry – this book is a testament to its contributors’ spirit, strength and fortitude.
