No Place For A Lady The Complete Book Of Australian Heroic Women

The 21 individuals whose stories make up this book are a rare breed. From Olive King, who saved countless lives in the war-ravaged Balkans, to Vivian Bullwinkle, who survived the Bangka Island Massacre only to endure three tragedy-filled years in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp, to Jeannie Gunn, who turned her experiences of hostile outback conditions into a classic book, these are women who displayed extraordinary determination in often terrible circumstances.
