We walk in the footprints of great women, women who lived through hard times on farms, in villages, towns and cities. The lives of these women are an untold story. This book is a celebration of the often forgotten “ordinary” women who gave so much to our society. In her eagerly-awaited new book, Alice salutes the women whose energy and generosity made such a valuable contribution to all our lives.
