Caddie – Sydney Barmaid (written by herself) Introduction by Dymphna Cusack

“Here is a simple account of how a woman earned her keep and her children’s keep in the bar of one pub after another. e have in microcosm a racket declared to be directly responsible for most of Australia’s social ills and a confirmation of a local judges statement that New South Wales hotelkeepers and liquor interests have become a law unto themselves.”  – Dymphna Cusack

“A moving and most human story – At the age of 24 Caddie left her unhappy home to live in the slums of Sydney. SAnmd she got a job there as a barmaid. Her description of city life among the poor is terrifying. But Caddie fights through it all. Hers is a success story that will make you proud to be a human being. Through loneliness and despair, corruption, hunger and terror she battles like a tiger with her children behind her.”  Nancy Spain
