    Women of the Land
    Eight Rural Women and Their Remarkable Everyday Lives
    Making your living from the land in Australia is not for the faint - hearted. Isolation, hard physical work, long hours and the vagaries of drought, floods and fire make it a challenging environment for any farmer. But how do you cope when you are a woman in what is traditionally a man's world? Women of the Land brings together the heart - warming stories of eight rural women spread across Australia who run their own farms, capturing their ways of life, their personal struggles and their remarkable achievements. Often juggling the demands of raising a family, they have overcome tragedy, personal fears, physical exhaustion and more than a little scepticism to build vibrant futures that sustain them and their families. Despite their diverse backgrounds, they all share several things in common - genuine humility, a passion for farming, and a deep, spiritual connection to the land which sustains them. This is the inspiring story of eight rural women and their remarkable everyday lives. 'Inspiring stories of women from across [Australia] who run farms, capturing their ways of life, their personal struggles and their remarkable achievements' - Queensland Country Life. 'An entertaining read, full of intimate details of inspiring, hard - working, and rewarding lives' - The Weekly Times. 'Great yarns about real Australian women' - Pittwater Life.
