In The Birdman’s Wife, the naïve young girl who falls in love with a demanding and ambitious genius comes into her own as a woman, an artist and a bold adventurer who defies convention by embarking on a trailblazing expedition to collect and illustrate Australia’s ‘curious’ birdlife. In a golden age of discovery, her artistry breathed wondrous life into hundreds of exotic new species, including Charles Darwin’s famous Galapagos finches. Elizabeth was a woman ahead of her time, juggling the demands of her artistic life with her roles as wife, lover, helpmate, and mother to an ever-growing brood of children. The Birdman’s Wife at last gives voice to a passionate and adventurous spirit who was so much more than the woman behind the man. But her legacy was eclipsed by the fame of her husband, John Gould. Artist Elizabeth Gould spent her life capturing the sublime beauty of birds the world had never seen before.
