Books that profile Australian women

Red Dust in Her Veins, Women of the Pilbara, by Lisa holland-McNair with melva Stone & Erica Smyth

Profiles twelve women who call the Pilbara home. Some have travelled from other parts of Australia or overseas, or, in the case of the local Aboriginal people, have inhabited this land for many thousands of years. "These stories, and the stunning photographs of the landscape that accompany them, will resonate with anyone who has visited the region or is contemplating 'going bush', and will live forever in the hearts of those dreaming of a life less ordinary."
