From an acclaimed historian who wrote a major feature on women's history in Australia for The Guardian, The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka is now available in paperback.
The Eureka Stockade β the story of how gold miners rebelled against British authority, beginning a process that would ultimately lead to democracy in Australia β is one of Australia's foundation legends. However, until now, it has been told as though only half the participants were there.

Clare Wright's The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka has been praised for its in-depth research and engaging narrative style. The book offers a fresh perspective on the Eureka Stockade by highlighting the crucial role women played, challenging the traditionally male-centric narratives.
