No Place for a Nervous Lady: Voices from the Australian Bush

The harshness of the Australian frontier is brought into vivid detail with this collection of diaries and letters from women living in the Outback. Their inspiring accounts, framed by contextual and biographical commentary, unveil the rawness, solitude, and intensity of the pioneer’s existence.
