About this ebook
Margaret Preston on Australian women artists; Miles Franklin on suffragist Rose Scott; Eleanor Dark on Caroline Chisholm; Kylie Tennant on the future ... Like mirrors reflecting mirrors this book shows the precarious position of women in a country’s history. First published in 1938, the youngest of the contributors, Kylie Tennant, just before her death in 1988 reflected again on the intervening fifty years.Reminding us that Australia is indebted not just to ‘pioneers and their wives’ but to ‘pioneering women’. With contributions from Mary Gilmore, Dymphna Cusack, Dorothea MacKellar and others.
