Week Beginning 21 June 2023

Rob Wills’ two volume Plague Searchers is reviewed this week. It seems particularly appropriate to review a book that gives women’s place such a high priority in the week I also comment on the National Labor Women’s Conference held in Western Australia. Rob Wills Plague Searchers Volumes 1 and 2 Arcadia 2022. The description ‘immense’Continue reading “Week beginning 14 June 2023*”

Week Beginning 16 May 2023

The book this week is relevant to the E.
