James Keating is a lecturer and tutor in History at the University of New South Wales
'Distant Sisters is fresh and necessary, a razor-sharp
collection of 'messy stories' that warn against simplistic readings
of the past to the suit the imperatives or trends of the
present.'
Dr Yves Rees, Sydney Review of Books
'Distant Sisters [is a] meticulous account of Australasian
women's international activism in support of women's suffrage
between 1880 and 1914'.
Professor Marilyn Lake, Australian Book Review -- .
