Anne Crawford has woven together the extraordinary true stories of eight inspiring women from remote parts of Australia - whether that be the bush, the mountains or the outback. The women featured range from hard-bitten bush women to those who have left the city for a new challenge. Together they share their stories of lives forged in often inhospitable conditions, the hardships imposed by isolation and the personal trials they endure to live there. Women of Spirit is a wonderful snapshot of strong women living quiet but important lives in Australia today.
Anne Crawford is co-author of Doctor Hugh: My Life with Animals and Forged with Flames: A True Story of Courage and Survival, and the author of Great Australian Horse Stories.
