- Description
- Collection of essays that illuminates the lives of late-eighteenth-century to mid-twentieth-century Aboriginal women. Some essays focus on individuals - a trader, a performer, a non-human woman. Other essays examine cohorts of women - wives, midwives, seamstresses, nuns. Exploring the constraints and boundaries these women encountered, the authors engage with questions of gender, race, and identity.
