[Review of] Isobel White, Diane Barwick, and Betty Meehan, eds. Fighters and Singers: The Lives of Some Aboriginal Women

Abstract

Fighters and Singers is a collection of fifteen essays written about Aboriginal women of Australia. The authors, mostly anthropologists and all women, wrote of their sisters, mothers, and aunts. The pieces are all informative about tribal life, but they are also warm reminiscences of relationships across cultural boundaries. Among the contributors is Pearl Duncan, the first Aborigine to become a trained teacher in Australia and a former member of the National Aboriginal Education Committee
