Through the stories of over eight hundred women from diverse cultural and social backgrounds, author Baiba Berzins weaves a rich tapestry of life in a rapidly changing region. The narrative documents the multifaceted roles of these women, ranging from their contributions to farm, town, and domestic life, to their involvement in health services, education, employment, community organisations, and the arts. Commissioned by the Royal Australian Historical Society, this extensively researched account brings to light the resilience, labour, and community spirit of those who helped shape the North Coast. Supported by a wealth of archival material, maps, and photographs, this book provides a comprehensive and engaging record of over a century of social history. It serves as an essential tribute to the women whose lives defined the development of the region, ensuring their contributions remain firmly embedded in the Australian historical record.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsed (good, see images, some yellowing and some initial pages marking)\u003cbr\u003eSoftcover\u003cbr\u003eISBN 0909954496","brand":"Blue Pigeon Goods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46537504555158,"sku":"tingirasix_XF76GJUPKBZK","price":46.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/5189\/4422\/files\/1248_1fcd3a17-6f36-4b81-aaf5-84a6b00e93ea.jpg?v=1787277888","url":"https:\/\/bluepigeongoods.com\/products\/north-coast-women-by-baiba-berzins","provider":"Blue Pigeon Goods Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
