Description:
In Ellen: A Woman of Spirit, Noelene Allen brings to life the remarkable story of Ellen Kelly, matriarch of the notorious Kelly family and mother of Ned Kelly. Far more than a footnote in Australian bushranger history, Ellen is portrayed here as a resilient and fiercely protective woman who endured poverty, injustice, and hardship on the colonial frontier. Drawing on historical records, photographs, and family stories, this biography sheds light on the strength and determination of a woman who helped shape one of the country’s most iconic and controversial legends.

Why You’ll Love It:
This signed edition is a compelling read for those interested in colonial Australia, women’s history, and the human story behind the Kelly saga. A powerful biography that expands our understanding of one of Australia’s most enduring historical families.
