Inga Clendinnen
Inga Clendinnen is an historian of extraordinary insight and power. She is also one of those remarkable people able to summon the strength to use a serious illness to review life an embellish skills. Following on from her earlier scholarly publications and particularly those about the Maya and Aztec cultures, she has more recently dazzled readers with her perceptive, courageous and imaginative approaches to the Holocaust, the impact of the First Fleet on Indigenous Australians - even her own life-threatening disease. Her prose, so wonderfully accessible, sings. It is with pleasure that the Friends of the National Library of Australia celebrate the life and contributions of this distinguished historian and gifted author. Essays by Morag Fraser, Alan Frost, Raimond Gaita, Michael Heyward and Caro Llewellyn.

I Asked Cathleen to Dance
This intimate memoir traces Gerard Windsor's heady affair with the bewitching Cathleen ni Houlihan, with Ireland and the women of Ireland. After the seclusion and discipline of the Jesuit life evoked in Heaven Where the Bachelors Sit, Windsor breaks out into a story of freewheeling, serendipitous encounters.
The Art of Time Travel
No matter how practised we are at history, it always humbles us. No matter how often we visit the past, it always surprises us.

In fourteen portraits, Griffiths illuminates how historians such as Inga Clendinnen, Judit...
From Superwomen to Domestic Goddesses
This book examines the rise and fall of feminism in the public imagination in the last twenty years, and explains why 'feminism failed me' has become the catch-cry of a generation. Today many women turn their back on feminism because they feel betrayed by the promises of feminism. Yet during the 1980s the popular ideal of the 'Superwoman' offered a source of empowerment and pride for women and equality with men - even 'having it all' - seemed possible. Through a close reading of popular culture sources, this book shows how women's engagement with feminism has shifted over time, and considers its future as a social movement.
Morag, a Tale of the Highlands of Scotland
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
