On 'Ninu' and 'Two Sisters'
Together they are two of the most significant female stories that our country is honoured to have in print today. They are epics of survival, by turns tragic, instructional, emotive, educational and soaring. They demand a readership.
In the seventh essay of her eight-part series, Tara June Winch calls attention to two important autobiographies, both published by Magabala Books – one written in English interspersed with Pitjantjatjara by Nura Nungalka Ward, and one written in English interspersed with Walmajarri about the lives of two sisters, Ngarta Jinny Bent and Jukuna Mona Chuguna.
