And So Say All of Us: Stories by Australian Women
Marie McShea and Pearlie McNeill entered the booktrade as enthusiastic but ignorant newcomers. Their country trips - selling books to tertiary establishments, schools, community groups and isolated women in many areas of N.S.W., Queensland, Victoria and the A.C.T. - gave them a greater understanding of what publishing in Australia means to the individual consumer. Again and again they were asked for material by Australians about Australia and matters relevant to Australians.
"Where are the writings of Australian women?" people wanted to know. The question came from women and men working in all sorts of jobs, as well as from many others who were coping with being unwaged. There were also women eager to know more about feminism and women's writing in general. This book is not an attempt to fill in the gaps left by mainstream publishing who have for the most part ignored or overlooked women writers for a long, long time. We do exist and we are all doing what we can to change things, AND SO SAY ALL OF US!
