Cassy Liberman's beautifully written and produced book tells the story of Ellis Rowan, a brilliant and talented woman of remarkable determination and independence living in a time when women were more often expected to be dependent on others. Ellis was a superb botanical artist and went to great lengths to capture the beauty of the flora around her. The book also showcases her work in several exquisite full colour plates. This is the first book in Cassy Liberman's Inspirational Australian Women series.
