Restless Dolly Maunder

Restless Dolly Maunder

Author(s): Kate Grenville

Location(s): New South Wales, The Outback

Genre(s): Fiction, Historical

Era(s): Later 19th Century

Dolly Maunder is born at the end of the nineteenth century, when society’s long-locked doors are just starting to creak ajar for determined women. Growing up in a poor farming 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 subversive, triumphant 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.
