The Bushwoman is a 1909 Australian play by Jo Smith.[1][2] It was a popular early Australian play.[3][4]
It was Smith's second play, following The Miner's Trust.[5][6] The play was presented by William Anderson who also did another play of Smith's The Girl of the Never Never. Smith said Anderson "cast them well and produced them without stint."[7] The play was a success in its original season.[8]
The cast for the 1909 production included Bert Bailey and Edmund Duggan.[9] The Bulletin thought the construction of the play was flimsy.[10]
