"The Drover's Wife" by Henry Lawson, is a short story about a bush woman who lives with her four children and one snake dog while her husband is away droving. The danger of a snake in her house reminds the woman of the tough challenges she had to face a woman alone in the bush. She fought droughts, floods, bulls and drunk men. We learn about her personality and the girlish dreams she had before her marriage. Somewhere near dawn, she is finally able to catch the snake with the help of her snake dog, Alligator, and kills the one foot long snake. This is a story about life in the bush and the different challenges that a woman has to face without the presence of her husband.
