Summary

A rich collection of essays that illuminates the lives of late-eighteenth-century to mid-twentieth-century Aboriginal women, women who have been overlooked in sweeping narratives of the history of the West. By exploring the constraints and boundaries these women encountered, the authors engage with difficult and important questions of gender, race, and identity.
