Description:
This is a magnificent oral record of the experiences of ordinary Australians during the Great Depression of the 1930s, and has been continuously in print since it was published in 1978.

What does the family breadwinner do after suddenly getting the sack? How do you manage when you are working every second week only or your wages - but not your mortgage - have been cut by 20 per cent? Working for the dole, living in shanty towns, squatting in empty buildings, standing forever in queues, despised by bureaucrats and slowly losing self-respect - all these experiences and more are described vividly within these pages.

Now, more than 70 years after the events it deals with, Weevils in the Flour rebukes a new generation of failed policy-makers. This edition carries a new preface by the author which comments angrily on 'the same old capitalist system, with the gloves off' that has produced such prolonged, intense distress.



'Great book on the Depression ... so good it is impossible to praise it sufficiently without sounding absurd.'
- The Age


'The range of this work is immense ... it should become a major work of reference in Australian social history.'
- Sydney Morning Herald

Awesome bra!
This bra is so comfortable. I love the fact that you can adjust the straps and the front to make it fit a short person's torso. This bra lifts and so far, has not stretched out.

Soft and Comfortable
Size: 46D, Color: Black
Size 46 D, black. Very Comfortable ! The strap adjustments are in front so it would be easy for someone who needed a caregiver to help them dress. The cups fit well with no gaps or wrinkles and the back lays smoothly, with no irritating seems or crossovers. The chest band is one piece, so no irritating seams, and its a little more supportive than my usual at home or bedtime bras. I tried it on and decided to wear it an hour to see if it stayed comfy while I moved around the house. It was so comfortable I forgot to change it! I ordered the black and when I machine washed it there was no dye bleeding. Hung to dry. Wearing it again and I think it just might become my new favorite. If I still love it, I might purchase another color in next month's shopping budget.

Extremely Comfortable
This bra is the most comfortable bra I have worn. It is so comfortable it doesn't even feel like I am wearing a bra. There are no unfinished seams inside. I like the fact the shoulder straps are hook and eyes that don't slip like the conventional straps. This bra is reasonably priced and nicely made with good support.

DELMIRA BRAS
Size: 36DD, Color: Gentle Rose
I don’t care for this bra whatsoever. The material is very cheap, has no support and in a nutshell, it’s one of those bras you can wear to bed if you’re not feeling comfortable going to bed braless. The price ($19.99) is very high for this bra. It’s definitely not made well or worth the price. I’ll never buy from Delmira again.

The most comfortable bra I’ve ever had
I have been searching for a comfortable bra in my large size that I can just pull on over my head. This bra has so many pluses for my needs! The design and construction are impressive for any price, and the fabric is pleasant on my skin. I’m having shoulder surgery soon and was so pleased to find I can easily unhook (and rehook) a strap to accommodate the surgical site as it heals. Even so, there’s decent support, which was not a concern but is a pleasant surprise. I wish there were more available, especially in soft colors, but at least I have 3.
