Since Henry Lawson wrote his story 'The Drover's Wife' in 1892, Australian
writers, painters, performers and photographers have created a wonderful
tradition of drover's wife works, stories and images.
The Russell Drysdale painting from 1945 extended the mythology and it, too, has
become an Australian icon.
Other versions of the Lawson story have been written by Murray Bail, Barbara
Jefferis, Mandy Sayer, David Ireland, Madeleine Watts and others, up to the
present, including Leah Purcell's play and Ryan O'Neill's graphic novel.
In essays and commentary, Frank Moorhouse examines our ongoing fascination with
this story and has collected some of the best pieces of writing on the subject.
This remarkable, gorgeous book is, he writes, 'a monument to the drovers'
wives'.
