Australian cinema has a magnificent history as well as an exceptional and distinctive aesthetic that draws viewers in and makes them fall more and more in love with it.

Only the beginning of Australian cinema and a few women from early Australian cinema are covered in this book.

The author doesn't claim that the actresses on the list were the finest among their peers, and the book doesn't provide a complete list of all actresses; rather, it focuses on some of the most well-known names from the golden age of Australian cinema.
