This book Notorious Australian Women by Kay Saunders was very interesting. The book told the stories of 20 women either born overseas or in Australia and who achieved notoriety or fame in Australia and in some cases internationally. Some names will be familiar e.g. Eliza Fraser, Helena Rubinstein, Lola Montez and Tilly Devine. Whether familiar or not, after reading the stories of their interesting lives the reader comes to know them and appreciate their contribution to our history. Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in Australian history. 4/5
