They inspired the portrait of her imagined Elizabeth Macarthur: shrewd, subtle, passionate. And they offer a glimpse into the complex inner life of one of our most powerful foremothers. Yet, until now, a general reader could only access a handful of them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book offers an edited selection, with commentary from Grenville, of the many letters Elizabeth Macarthur wrote 'home' from colonial Sydney over her long life-letters in which we can hear the voice of a remarkable woman. Circumstances confronted her with huge challenges, but also gave her opportunities unknown to most women of the time. It was a life of tumult, of griefs and joys-all faced with spirit, and recorded in this lively and engaging correspondence.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48203452219550,"sku":"UBD-9781922458582","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781922458582.jpg?v=1787834369","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781922458582","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
