AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The women come from a range of backgrounds, from isolated and deeply traditional communities to the urban and highly technical, and pursue varied careers and interests.
Many of the stories will shock. From the first-hand experience of these women, it becomes clear that racist attitudes we may have hoped had disappered from the Australian landscape continue to flourish in many quarters.
Murrawina is a tribute to the vitality, courage and optimism of these women, and to all Australian women'.
