      Note/s:
      • Preface: The contributions to 'Women in Harmony' are written by a group of women from countries like Greece, Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Australia, who found themselves living and writing in a multicultural Australia of the 1990s. ... 'Women in Harmony' is a statement and reply to various 'Nationalists' past and present who try to goad people into hostility and futile, tragic fights. ... 'Women in Harmony' is also a language discourse. Contributors with either a foreign language or English as a mother tongue , have been forced by their writing - and readers are invited - to examine, analyse, and feel the various native and foreign language fragments they have accumulated.....Olga novak.
