Clare Wright’s revisionary history of the
Eureka stockade, The Forgotten Rebels
of Eureka, received wide acclaim for the
fascinating new insight it provided into
Australia’s past. You Daughters of Freedom
is the second volume of Wright’s ‘Democracy
Trilogy’ and it’s another fascinating read.
Here, she turns her attention to Australia’s
role in the suffragette movement of the early
20th century. The book centres on five key
historical figures – Vida Goldstein, Nellie
Martel, Dora Montefiore, Muriel Matters
and Dora Meeson Coates – and positions
events in both a local and international
context. Wright’s colourful and lively writing
is bolstered by extensive research, and
once again she shines light into corners of
the past that have been largely ignored by
history books.
