AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Elizabeth Macarthur was a true Australian pioneer. This book celebrates her life and achievements, as well as the many setbacks she endured. In a society that was dominated by men, she thrived as a mother, businesswoman and farm manager.'

'Elizabeth highlights the important roles women have played in Australian history. Elizabeth Macarthur wasn’t just a pioneer in the traditional sense, but also a pioneer of the Women’s Rights Movement that gained momentum later in the 1800’s. In times when women had no rights, when they were actually owned (in Australian law) by their fathers or husbands. Many thrived in a predominately man’s world, enduring centuries old prejudices, and overcoming them to find their rightful places in our history. This book celebrates their courage and determination.'  (Publication summary)
