CLARE WRIGHT is an historian who has worked as a political speechwriter, university lecturer, historical consultant and radio and television broadcaster. She has become well known for searching out the other side of history: highlighting women’s stories in the narratives we think we already know.
Clare’s first book, Beyond the Ladies Lounge: Australia’s Female Publicans, garnered both critical and popular acclaim. Her groundbreaking second book, The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka, which took ten years to research and write, won the 2014 Stella Prize for Women’s Writing and has recently been published in a young adult edition, We are the Rebels.
On The Forgotten Rebls of Eureka:
‘This is a wonderful book. At last an Australian foundation story where women are not only found, but are found to have played a fundamental role.’ -- Chris Masters
‘Brilliantly researched and fun to read. An exhilarating new take on a story we thought we knew.’ -- Brenda Niall
