Many books covering Australian Service Women examine the political decisions of the era and detail significant historical dates and events.

Our spirit is not an historical book, rather a collection of stories, essays, poems, letters, emails, photos and artworks by Australian Service Women who served from 1960 to today as a creative representation of their service and offerings a valuable insight into their personal experiences.

 

Details: Published 2020.

Format: Soft cover, 162 pages.

Dimensions: 25.4 cm (h) x 20.3 cm (w) x 1.1 cm (d) / 447 grams.
