AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Every nation needs both heroes and heroines, but the lives of Australia's greatest women have largely been ignored. This book details the life stories of twenty-five courageous Australian women who broke down the barriers of prejudice against women entering the professions, the arts and sport in the twentieth-century.

'Visionaries, pioneers, activists and artists - women who made a difference to Australia
'An updated and condensed edition of Susanna de Vries' Great Australian Women, this is a celebration of women who broke the mould, crashed through the ceilings, and shaped the nation in the fields of medicine, law, the arts and politics.
'From Lillie Goodisson, pioneer of family planning, to Eileen Joyce, world-famous pianist, Enid Lyons, our first female cabinet minister, Stella Miles Franklin, who endowed our most celebrated literary prize, and Catherine Hamlin, who has given hope to thousands of women through her fistula hospitals in Africa, these are women who have made a difference. They are the women who helped to forge the Australia we know today.'
