An Autobiography - Catherine Helen Spence

""An Autobiography"" is a memoir written by Catherine Helen Spence, a prominent Australian author, journalist, and social reformer. The book chronicles Spence's life from her childhood in Scotland to her immigration to Australia and her career as a writer and advocate for women's rights and social justice. Spence reflects on her experiences as a teacher, governess, and journalist, as well as her involvement in political movements such as the women's suffrage movement and the campaign for proportional representation in government. Throughout the book, Spence offers insight into the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated society and her efforts to effect positive change. ""An Autobiography"" is a compelling account of a remarkable woman's life and the social and political issues that shaped it.If South Australia was the first of the States to exhaust her agricultural soil, she was the first to restore it by means of fertilizers and the seed drill. When I see the drilled wheat fields I recollect my grandfather's two silver salvers--the Prizes from the Highland Society for having the largest area of drilled wheat in Scotland--and when I see the grand crops on the Adelaide Plains I recall the opinion that, with anything like a decent rainfall, that soil could grow anything.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
