Mary Fortune
Lucy Sussex (ed)
Arriving in Australia with her young son Mary Fortune supported herself by writing about life on the goldfields and in the cities. Lucy Sussex's detective work has revealed something of the life of this remarkable woman but her writing is the best testimony. Its verve and quality recreate for the modern reader the harshness of life in her time, while reflecting many issues still relevant to contemporary society.
