The Boundary Riders
For the last two years Rachel has been researching and collecting stories of NZ women from the 1800′s and turning these into songs. These are the stories of our great great grandmothers – the goldminers, the prostitutes, the business women, the missionary wives, the housewives, the magicians, the washerwomen, and the factory workers. They are ‘The Boundary Riders’ with one foot bounded in Victorian social customs and values and the other exploring uncharted and ‘lawless’ territory in a new land far removed from all they had known.
