Ever Yours, C.H. Spence
Catherine Helen Spence, an unparalleled advocate of women's rights in Australia and the world, is now recognized as an important predecessor to the Feminist movement. Her autobiography, composed while on her deathbed and enhanced with scholarly annotation from two Spence scholars, reveals a woman both in and ahead of her time.
Unbridling the Tongues of Women
Catherine Helen Spence was a charismatic public speaker in the late nineteenth century, a time when women were supposed to speak only at their own firesides. She was carving a new path into the world of public politics along which other women would follow, in the first Australian colony to win votes for women.
An Autobiography
In this inspiring autobiography, Catherine Helen Spence's remarkable life as a Scottish-born Australian author, politician, and suffragist is brought to vivid life. Spence's tireless advocacy for women's rights and proportional representation is chronicled, as is her status as the first female political candidate in Australia. A true trailblazer, Spence's work is a testament to the power of perseverance and dedication to one's beliefs. Her achievements, which earned her the title "Greatest Australian Woman" and a place on the five-dollar note, continue to inspire readers today. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of women's rights and political activism.
A Week in the Future
'A Week in the Future' is a science-fiction novel written by Catherine Helen Spence. The story revolves around a woman named Emily Bethel, who fell terminally ill and was given the choice to live for two more years in her current state, or travel a hundred years into the future and spend a week living there. She chose the latter and was whisked to the world of 1988.
Mr. Hogarth's Will
I do not know that the preacher brought out the particular point; but we are made such dependent beings, not only on God, but on each other, that we do indirectly profit by what we do not purchase by our own effort or pains. We would not choose to have it so; but when Providence brings on ourselves or others sorrows we grieve for, we are right to draw from them all the good we can. It is something if my uncle's rather unjust will has given you property with a sobered sense of its privileges and a strong sense of its duties--something to set against Elsie's sufferings and mine. And, besides, the loss of it has done me one great benefit."
