Clare Wright's "The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka" challenges the established narrative of the Eureka Stockade, a pivotal event in Australian history. This book unearths the crucial roles women played in the social, economic, and political landscape of the Ballarat goldfields in 1854.
Wright dismantles the long-held myth of the diggings as a solely masculine domain, revealing a heterogeneous community of families striving for freedom and independence. By focusing on the lives of women on both sides of the Stockade, Wright paints an intricate portrait of a community on the brink of rebellion.
This book presents a fresh perspective on a familiar story, offering new scholarship and factual details about key protagonists and events. It argues that women's presence fundamentally changes our understanding of Eureka and its enduring significance to Australian national identity. Discover a more inclusive and historically accurate account of this defining moment.
