Contextualized within the pioneering efforts of white, Aboriginal, and immigrant Australian women in initiating an alternative literary tradition, the text captures a wide range of multiracial Australian women authors' insightful reflections on crucial issues such as war and silent mourning, emergence of a Australian national heroine, racial purity and Aboriginal motherhood, communism and activism, feminist rivalry, sexual transgressions, autobiography and art of letter writing, city space and female subjectivity, lesbianism, gender implications of spatial categories, placement and displacement, dwelling and travel, location and dislocation and female body politics. Claiming Space for Australian Women's Writing tracks Australian women authors' varied journeys across cultural, political and racial borders in the canter of contemporary political discourse. 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aOriental literature 606 $aLiterature 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aAsian Literature 606 $aWorld Literature 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aOriental literature. 615 0$aLiterature. 615 14$aLiterary History. 615 24$aAsian Literature. 615 24$aWorld Literature. 676 $a016.808839352 702 $aDas$b Devaleena$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDasgupta$b Sanjukta$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255089903321 996 $aClaiming Space for Australian Women?s Writing$92526108 997 $aUNINA
