The sensational lives and exploits of twenty audacious, brash and scandalous women.

Notorious Australian Women celebrates the lives of some of Australia’s most fearless, brash and scandalous women. There’s Tilly Devine, who went from streetwalker in London to wealthy Sydney madam and standover merchant; Mary Bryant, the highway robber and First Fleeter who escaped by rowing from Port Jackson to Timor with her two children; Lola Montez, the Irish-born grande horizontale, who destroyed King Ludwig I of Bavaria; Ellen Tremaye and Marion Edwards, women who challenged the gender order and became men; and Helena Rubinstein, who rewrote her humble Polish background and became one of the most successful and astute businesswomen in the world.

From bushrangers, courtesans and cross-dressers, to writers, designers and a radical or two, what these splendid rebels have in common is a determination to take their destinies into their own hands.

Don't download!! DRM protected!!
@ raindr0ps. You can download a DRM removal program off the net. (just do a Google search)
If it is so easy, couldn't you convert it and save all your downloaders having to re-invent the wheel?
It would make more sense for one person to do the job than 30, 40 or 50 people having to do the job over and over, right?
Thanks for the feedback. Will convert next time.
THANK YOU!!
