Bringing together twenty-one remarkable women, The Modern Woman's Anthology 2010 reveals a range of insights through personal stories based around what it means to be a woman in today's world. This unique publication chronicles the trials and joys of being a modern woman, from singing opera in Russia to early morning family chaos, from cycling across Africa to growing up with Germaine Greer's philosophies, from old wives' tales to running a school in Tanzania.

Contributing writers include Olympian Cathy Freeman, doctor and media commentator Dr Cindy Pan, award-winning children's author Libby Hathorn, and Chairman and Executive Director of Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation Dr Gene Sherman, to name a few. Each story reveals something about their commonality: womanhood.

All proceeds from The Modern Woman's Anthology will be donated to the Black Dog Institute, a not-for-profit, educational, research, clinical and community-oriented facility offering specialist expertise in mental health.

'One of the beautiful things that women do so well is share their stories of the daily struggle to find meaning and balance in this crazy old world. In this wonderful compilation some fabulous Aussie women do it with a touching honesty that makes you think, 'Thank God! I'm not alone!'
Bianca Dye, Breakfast Radio Personality

'The perfect travel companion for a weekend away with the girls.'
Katie Bowman, Sunday Times Travel Magazine, UK
