George Blaikie draws on historical records, newspaper archives, and vivid anecdotes to paint a portrait of madams, criminals, entertainers, and social rebels who defied the conventions of their era. Written with a sharp wit and an eye for the sensational, the narrative presents these women not as footnotes but as central figures in Sydney's social and cultural development. Blaikie illustrates how these bold personalities navigated — and frequently subverted — the rigid moral codes of colonial and early twentieth-century Australian society. The result is an entertaining and illuminating account that rescues remarkable women from historical obscurity and places them firmly at the heart of Sydney's story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820247167195,"sku":"2026100005229-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f159a53b-c9ae-4750-af94-aea873d33301.png?v=1780055613","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100005229-secondhand-wild-women-of-sydney","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
