1st ed. Paperback octavo, very good condition, few black & white text-photos, minor edgewear, autograph (author's written dedication title page, slight imprint on facing page). 276 pp. This is the story of two women who came to Australia in 1875 from England. They were Harriet Rowel (age 23) and Alice Moon (age 20). They were champion swimmers who were in love at a time when it had to be kept a secret. They had courageous defiance and rebellious natures, and they took on the world at a dangerous time for women's freedom of expression. Love ends. Alice breaks free from Harriet's life and follows her own career as an author living in Sydney. Harriet sells up and follows Alice. Alice is found dead in her bed at age 37 and suspicions fall upon the powerful chauvinistic scientist, John McGarvie Smith with whom Alice had been working in her newfound role as a journalist. Alice's friends leave a public accusation on her gravestone, a clue for a future woman to bring justice. The author wrote the words 'imagined history' in the book title because there is very little actual detailed history on Alice and Harriet.
