The book charts the emergence of the organisation during the late Victorian era through its height in the first decade of the twentieth century to its decline in the interwar years. Employing a multi-sited approach and using a range of sources - including correspondences, newsletters, and scrapbooks - the book uncovers the ways in which girls participated in the empire as migrants, settlers, laborers, and creators of colonial knowledge and also how they resisted these prescribed roles and challenged systems of colonial power.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920528883870,"sku":"ING-9781526163516","price":56.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526163516.jpg?v=1782823173","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526163516","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
