Women of Spirit
True-life stories of inspiring country women
Inspiring true-life stories of women who've grown up connected with the country or who've fallen in love with it or with the men working it. Women who've struggled through bushfires, floods, poverty, discrimination and accidents to come out smiling at the other end. Stories of hardship, triumph, resilience and love.
Women of Spirit is a wonderful snapshot of strong women living quiet but important lives in Australia today.
