From its early beginnings in 1925, the Society of Women Writers of Australia has encouraged members in their love of language. In Western Australia our branch keeps in contact with writers across our vast State, and from such diverse backgrounds come the stories and poems in this Anthology. A suburban tornado, loves lost and found, dinner in the Outback, eviction from Glastonbury, travels overseas and statewide, a gum tree bike, a woman running on water, tales from the other side - we cover the tragedies and triumphs of life. Sometimes humorous, sometimes thought-provoking, there is something for everyone. So find a chair on a shady verandah, lean back and enjoy a peek into the lives of the women of Western Australia.
