Drusilla Modjeska illuminates how figures such as Miles Franklin, Katharine Susannah Prichard, and Eleanor Dark navigated the competing demands of creative ambition, political commitment, and domestic life in a society that rarely made space for women's intellectual work. With a tone that is both scholarly and deeply empathetic, the study argues that these women were exiles not in a geographic sense, but within their own culture — marginalized by gender even as they produced some of Australia's most vital literature. Modjeska draws on letters, diaries, and published works to present a richly textured portrait of a generation of writers who refused to be silenced, reframing their contributions as central rather than peripheral to the Australian literary canon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887948542171,"sku":"2026100005050-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/36d9a2bb-5836-45da-b476-5b7ef279b3b7.png?v=1781750301","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100005050-secondhand-exiles-at-home-australian-women-writers-1925-1945","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
