Australian Heroines: Stories Of Courage And Survival

This book focuses on 10 Australian women of extraordinary courage - including a 19th century shipwreck survivor, a convict who escaped from Sydney to Timor in a small sailboat, a pioneer ("Sarah of the South-West Plains"), an Auschwitz survivor, marathon swimmer Susie Moroney and mountaineer Brigitte Muir - each with an amazing story. Geason has extensively researched each story, often interviewing the subjects or their descendants.
