Synopsis

Providing inspiration for today′s women, in this book of profiles, Susanna de Vries examines what it takes to be a truly heroic Australian. Women of grit and courage, women of integrity, resilience and resourcefulness: the 21 individuals whose stories make up THE COMPLETE BOOK OF HEROIC AUSTRALIAN WOMEN were a rare breed. They faced different tests -- harshness as pioneers in outback Australia; the turmoil of war -- but when encountering adversity, even death, each proved her mettle. From Olive King, who saved countless lives in the war-ravaged Balkans, to Vivian Bullwinkel, who survived the Bangka Island Massacre only to endure three tragedy-filled years in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp, to Jeannie Gunn, who turned her experiences of hostile outback conditions into a classic book. We of the Never-Never, these are women who displayed extraordinary determination in often terrible circumstances. Georgiana MolloyFrances (′Fanny′) Bussell Elizabeth (′Bessie′) Bussell Charlotte Cookworthy Bussell Emma Mary Withnell Atlanta Hope Bradshaw Jeannie Gunn, OBE Evelyn Maunsell Catherine Langloh Parker Myrtle Rose White Olive May Kelso King Dr Agnes Elizabeth Lloyd Bennett Dr Lilian Violet Cooper Sister Alice Elizabeth Kitchen Joice NanKivell Loch Sister Sylvia Muir Sister Vivian Bullwinkel Sister Joyce Tweddell Sister Betty Jeffrey Mavis Parkinson Sister Frances May Hayman
