HerStory: A celebration of Wagga’s women from early settlement to today

Michelle A. Maddison

From the dawn of Australia’s inhabitation, the women were there with the men. While there are numerous accounts of the contributions made by women to the development of Wagga, very few have been formally documented in the pages of history. Some made names for themselves in the fields of medicine, others in the arts and public service. Some bravely served during wartime. There were teachers, performers, wives, politicians and adventurers. HerStory celebrates not only their extraordinary stories, but also those of the women that have followed, and are making a difference to the Wagga of today.

This book was printed with the kind support of Michelle and Vincent Fernon.
