Mura Solwata Kosker We Saltwater Women GAFFNEY AM, Ellie Availability: Print Mura Solwata Koster provides invaluable insights into the struggle for Indigenous women's rights in the Torres Strait Islands — through the reflections of one of its outstanding pioneers. Ellie Gaffney shares with us and future generations her personal journey overcoming hurdles faced by Torres Strait (Solwata) women to establish the Mura Kosker Sorority (All Women are Sisters) shelter for woman as a platform for change. Her stories are told in the context of broader struggles in the 1960s for equal Aboriginal rights, in the 1970s for land rights (Native Title), in the 1980s for separate recognition of Torres Strait Islanders, and the ever-present challenges of health equity for Indigenous people. |
