This volume explores the subterfuges, strategies, and choices that
Australian women writers have navigated in order to challenge
patriarchal stereotypes and assert themselves as writers of
substance. 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.
