Congratulations to Yves Rees on the publication of Travelling to Tomorrow

Congratulations to History Australia editor Yves Rees on the publication of Travelling to Tomorrow: The Modern women who Sparked Australia’s Romanced with America (NewSouth). A century ago, ten Australian women did something remarkable. Throwing convention to the wind, they headed across the Pacific to make their fortune. In doing so, they reoriented Australia towards the United States years before politicians began to lumber down the same path. This book traces their journey and its consequences for the wider narrative of Australian history. The book has been described as ‘curious, critical and kind’ by Anna Clark, ‘a knockout’ by Clare Wright. Congratulations, Yves!
