Mary Gilmore

The second title in the Aussie Notables.Born and raised in Wagga Wagga, Dame Mary was a schoolteacher, utopian socialist, journalist, poet and girl friend of Henry Lawson, whose adventures took her to Paraguay, Patagonia and Casterton(!).Like all Aussie Notable titles, this is a great story which makes you wonder why we don't know more about the well-chosen people on our Australian bank notes.
