Caddie: A Sydney Barmaid is a remarkable autobiographical account that chronicles the life of an anonymous Australian woman navigating the harsh realities of Depression-era Sydney. Written anonymously and published under the pseudonym Caddie, the narrative presents a raw, unflinching portrait of a woman abandoned by her husband who must single-handedly raise two young children while working as a barmaid in the rough pubs of Sydney during the 1920s and 1930s. With an introduction by celebrated Australian author Dymphna Cusack, the book argues powerfully for the resilience and dignity of working-class women, giving voice to the forgotten struggles of ordinary Australians. Written with disarming honesty and warmth, it stands as a vital document of Australian social history, later adapted into a celebrated 1976 Australian film starring Helen Morse.
