Description: This book explores a grim Australian frontier and brings to life women's lives in one of the world's most remote places, Australia's north-west. Set against a backdrop of European pastoral, pearling and mining expansion, Spinifex and Hessian explores some of the dangerous and impermanent lives of women during the colonial period of 1860-1900.
