Her national importance has been marked by the use of her portrait on Australian stamps and currency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the classic biography of the woman whose remarkable and hard-won achievements first asserted the place of women in Australian public life. Almost single-handedly and against strenuous and sometimes malicious opposition, the indomitable Chisholm worked to establish a Female Immigrants' Home, to encourage family immigration and to fight for better conditions on immigrant ships. Her biography has rightly been acclaimed as outstanding, a landmark in the study of women in Australia's history. The author was herself a pioneer among Australian women historians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Melbourne University","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47595358191767,"sku":"9780522847338","price":2089.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780522847338.webp?v=1774989482","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/caroline-chisholm-9780522847338","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
