- productDescription:
- <p>Grace Emily Munro (1879-1964) was a co-founder and the first president of the Country Women’s Association of Australia (CWA). She experienced first-hand the isolation and lack of services faced by many regional Australian women while living on a property in the Gwydir Shire in New South Wales’ New England region. This inspired Grace to devote her life to improving regional women’s lives - she was a generous and enthusiastic leader of the CWA, campaigning tirelessly for much-needed resources and raising funds for countless women’s restrooms and hospital facilities across the state.</p>

- <p>Margaret Catchpole was a servant, thief and engaging correspondent.</p><p>Born in Suffolk, England, Margaret worked as a servant before being convicted of stealing a horse and later of escaping from the Suffolk County Gaol. Transported to New South Wales for life in 1801, she worked as a cook, nurse and midwife.</p><p>Margaret’s vivid letters to friends and family in England were the basis for a partly fictional account of her life published posthumously in Richard Cobbold’s <em>The History of Margaret Catchpole, a Suffolk Girl.</em></p><p>Margaret’s writing is an important literary record of Australia’s early convict period. It is also the only written record of the devastating 1806 and 1809 Hawkesbury floods.</p>
