Daisy Bates, dressed in Victorian garb, malnourished and half-blind, camped with Aboriginal people in Western Australia and on the Nullarbor for decades, surrounded by her books, notes and artefacts. A self-taught ethnologist, desperate to be accepted by established male anthropologists, she sought to document the language and customs of the people who visited her camps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1935, Ernestine Hill, journalist and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Great Australian Loneliness\u003c\/i\u003e, coaxed Bates to Adelaide to collaborate on a newspaper series. Their collaboration resulted in the 1938 international bestseller, \u003ci\u003eThe Passing of the Aborigines\u003c\/i\u003e. This book informed popular opinion about Aboriginal people for decades, though Bates's failure to acknowledge Hill as her co-author strained their friendship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTraversing great distances in a campervan, Eleanor Hogan reflects on the lives and work of these indefatigable women. From a contemporary perspective, their work seems quaint and sentimental, their outlook and preoccupations dated, paternalistic and even racist. Yet Bates and Hill took a genuine interest in Aboriginal people and their cultures long before they were considered worthy of the Australian mainstream's attention. With sensitivity and insight, Hogan wonders what their legacies as fearless female outliers might be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'I responded to this book with every cell in my body, neuron in my brain and beat of my heart.
