The book is available and will be PACKAGED professionally, DISPATCHED promptly and a TRACKING NUMBER will be advised by Australia Post. The 1930s were a remarkable decade in Australian cultural history, when women were producing most of the published fiction. Their novels made dramatic use of womens experience, dealing frankly with the underside of marriage and the infidelities of men, the cross-currents of poverty and gender, illegal abortion, and the terrible cost of race relations on the frontier. By the standards of the day, novels such as Katherine Susannah Prichard's Coonardoo, Eleanor Dark's Waterway, Christina Stead's Seven Poor Men of Sydney, and Dymphna Cusak's Come In Spinner were controversial, even scandalous. Exiles at Home traces a remarkable generation of women writers through letters, diaries, notebooks and the memories of contemporaries. It shows how they supported each other through the hard years of composition, through rejection and publication, the vicissitudes of reception and the perennial problem of earning a living.
