The way places shape individual and community identities are explored in this history of women's experiences in the Australian and Canadian frontier in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The personal experiences of these women are diverse, ranging from running the local medical facility, raising children, and scaling mountains to studying botany, learning native languages, and riding horses. Weaving together the lives of women who lived in different landscapes, climates, and eras, this historical study ties their stories together with contemporary reflections of the author.

Autorenporträt
Maggie MacKellar lectures in Australian and cross-cultural comparative history at the University of Sydney. In 1996 she spent three months hiking, camping and kayaking in the Alaskan wilderness with the National Outdoor Leadership School, which provided the inspiration for this book. She lives in Sydney with her two children. Core of My Heart, My Country is her first book. MacKellar has since published her second book Strangers in a Foreign Land.
