Summary
A Wife’s Heart: Bertha Lawson’s Untold Story
An innovative and imaginative biography, examining the marriage of Bertha and Henry Lawson through a modern lens.
Henry Lawson is a revered cultural icon, but despite his literary success, he descended into poverty and an early death. While many blamed his wife for his decline, Bertha Lawson alleged in April 1903 that Henry was habitually drunk and cruel, leading her to demand a judicial separation.
