Torres Strait Islander Women and the Pacific War
Canberra: Aboriginal Studies Press. 1997. xv 271pp bibliography notes bw ills maps. Original pictorial card covers. As new. From 1942-45 Torres Strait islander women faced the fears of living on Australia's front line during the Pacific war. Some were forcibly evacuated with their children to the mainland where they found themselves still restricted as to where and how they could live. Others were left on their tiny islands deserted in the end by their government and church despite the constant threat of Japanese advance through the Torres Strait. Many of the women remember here that traumatic time: hiding from bombers and watching dogfights overhead struggling to find food and clothe their families and praying for the return of their menfolk and for peace again in their beloved island homes.
