Dr Clare Wright (Honorary Research Associate, History Program, La Trobe University) on her new book, The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka, which tells the story of the thousands of women on the Australian goldfields. How they arrived there, why they came and how they sustained themselves make for fascinating reading in their own right. But it is in the rebellion itself that the unbiddable women of Ballarat come into their own. Copyright 2013 La Trobe University, all rights reserved. Contact for permissions.
