For many years the role of women in building Australia was poorly recognised. In reality, from the days of the First Fleet women paide a key part in politics, business and society. This book shows how many talented and charismatic women worked tirelessly to make the nation what it is today. Women were key workers for universal voting rights, federation, to improve working conditions, and to gain equality in a male-dominated society. These are the women who made Australian history.
