At seventeen she started life over in South Australia with her family's fortunes sunk; she died one of the most honored women in the colony's history. Catherine Helen Spence recounts a Scottish childhood, novels, lovers and friends, and a long fight for political reform and women's votes. A pioneering reformer telling her own story briskly and without self-pity.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
