'The Right Thing to Read': A History of Australian Girl-Readers,
1910-1960 explores the reading habits, identity, and construction
of femininity of Australian girls aged between ten and fourteen
from 1910 to 1960. It investigates changing notions of Australian
girlhood across the period, and explores the ways that parents,
teachers, educators, journalists and politicians attempted to
mitigate concerns about girls' development through the promotion of
'healthy' literature. The book also addresses the influence of
British publishers to Australian girl-readers and the growing
importance of Australian publishers throughout the period. It
considers the rise of Australian literary nationalism in the global
context, and the increasing prominence of Australian literature in
the period after the Second World War. It also shows how access to
reading material improved for girls over the first half of the last
century.
