This book defends realism as a feminist mode of fiction, tracing it through the work of Ada Cambridge, Henry Handel Richardson, Katharine Susannah Pritchard, Christina Stead and others. It also considers the dialogue about gender politics with some Australian men writers such as Joseph Furphy, Vance Palmer, Patrick White and David Foster.
