Tiddas is a novel by Anita Heiss published in 2014. The title Tiddas is an Aboriginal term for "women who are like sisters".[1]
The book is about five women who have been friends since childhood who come together for book club meetings.[2]
Reception
Dianne Dempsey of the Sydney Morning Herald comments "While Tiddas may at times have a didactic tone, it is this political subtext, the subversive nature of the book, that provides any interest or edge."[3] Laura Brodnik of bmag says that "it's also a love letter to the city of Brisbane."[4] Lou Heinrich of lip states that it is "depicting urban Aboriginal women in an easily consumable book."[5]
