Download or read book Sheilas written by Eliza Reilly and published by Macmillan Publishers Aus.. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An entertaining romp through Australian history that celebrates the badass sheroes we were never taught about in school and who deserve to be printed on our money, goddamn it! It's been said that 'well-behaved women seldom make history', but the handful of white boys who wrote our history books conveniently left most of them out. Whoops! To rectify this situation, Eliza Reilly is setting out to revive the forgotten stories of the badass Sheilas of Australian history. Chain yourself to pub counters with the determined Merle Thornton, fight for Indigenous rights alongside Faith Bandler, and lure forlorn sailors with swimmer-slash-mermaid Annette Kellerman. Deceive cranky soldiers with bushranger Mary Ann Bugg, infiltrate Nazi strongholds on the back of Nancy Wake's bike - and much, much more. Cracking with satirical wit and whole-hearted admiration, Sheilas is a cheeky, funny, inspirational celebration of the tough-titted ladies who hiked up their petticoats and fly-kicked down the doors of opportunity for modern Australia. This is a specially formatted fixed-layout ebook that retains the look and feel of the print book. Praise for Sheilas: 'A welcome and witty contribution towards redressing the balance - a must-read.' - Noni Hazlehurst 'If Kathy Lette and Monty Python had a love child, that freak would be Eliza Reilly. Lush, loose and liberated from academic orthodoxy, Reilly has the labia majoras to ask the simple but earth-quaking question: what were the women doing? As it happens: Plenty! Sheilas is a glorious romp through the Australian history you didn't learn at school. Funny and fearless, this is the book you'll want your daughters to read and your sons to worship.' - Clare Wright 'Eliza highlights an array of awesome, innovative, determined and defiant Australian women with meticulous research and a wicked sense of humour. This is the history book I've been hanging out for.' - Jane Kennedy

Book excerpt: Abby My heart races, palms sweat and knees go weak. I’ve never seen anyone like Drew in a science lab. He’s made me a firm believer in chemistry existing outside a textbook. Until his ego shows up. Nope - No thank you. Moving on. I mean… who has an entourage in college? When our professor announces we’ll be stuck as lab partners, I nearly lose my mind - I’m certain my dreams of becoming a doctor will go up in smoke with a distraction like him around. Drew I don’t date during the season. The number of trolls who venture into the arena simply to chase jerseys is unbelievable. In fact, I typically distance myself from the social side of being a college athlete because I have my eye on something bigger than our next D-1 championship. I’ve taken painstaking measures to avoid distractions - at all costs. This plan has worked perfectly until Abby shows up at my door. Gone is the plain studious girl I left in lab the day before. Left in her place is the intriguing woman I want to know better. Here I thought she wouldn’t be a distraction - yeah right... I am so screwed. Abby’s gorgeous and there’s nothing plain about her. I am this close to having it all. If I let Abby in, will my perfectly laid out plans disappear?
