Riverina Midwives collects the stories of the hard work, courage, improvisation, humour and grief which accompanied the settlement of one of Australia’s richest rural areas. It is a tribute to the women who went with their men into shepherds’ huts, fettlers’ camps and settlers’ tents, bark shelters and iron sheds, and to the women who helped them to bring generations of healthy young Australians into the world.
