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. They faced different tests — harshness as pioneers in outback Australia; the turmoil of war — but when encountering adversity, even death, each proved her mettle. We of the Never-Never, these are women who displayed extraordinary determination in often terrible circumstances.
