Slutsåld

In this passionate book, Maggie MacKellar tells the stories of women on the frontier in Canada and Australia who ventured out in bonnets and petticoats to collect seeds, who abandoned sidesaddles to ride in the mountains, who risked their reputations to climb mountains - and beyond this it tells of the risky business of women who put their lives on the page to claim the importance of their experience.
