There is nothing quite like parrot pie for breakfast. First one must catch ones parrot, of course, and build the hearth to bake it, but that is all in a days work for the woman pioneer. This riveting anthology tells the story of over 100 such women spanning four centuries, from the lowliest kitchen skivvy to ambassadors wives: emigrants who settled the wildernesses of the world in search of new and better lives. Many were lured abroad by the promise of work or
fortune; some went because imperial duty called, while for others it was a most unfeminine lust for adventure that drew them away. But all faced challenges in their homes from home that were to test to
the limit their spirits, their resourcefulness, even their survival..
