Book
Restless Dolly Maunder / Kate Grenville.
Dolly Maunder is born at the end of the 19th century, when society's long-locked doors are just starting to creak ajar for determined women. Growing up in a poor family in rural New South Wales, Dolly spends her life doggedly pushing at those doors. A husband and two children do not deter her from searching for love and independence. 'Restless Dolly Maunder' is a tale of a pioneering woman working her way through a world of limits and obstacles, who is able -- despite the cost -- to make a life she could call her own.
