Drusilla Modjeska presents a richly researched account of Australian women writers active between 1925 and 1945, illuminating the social, political, and domestic pressures that shaped their creative lives and output. Drawing on biography, cultural history, and literary criticism, Modjeska details how figures such as Miles Franklin, Marjorie Barnard, Flora Eldershaw, and Eleanor Dark negotiated the competing demands of art, gender, and national identity in an era of profound upheaval.\n\nModjeska's prose is both scholarly and deeply humane, arguing persuasively that these writers were not peripheral footnotes to Australian literary history but central voices who articulated the tensions of a society in transition. Her work sits at the intersection of feminist criticism and cultural biography, recovering women who were exiled not abroad, but within the very homes and institutions that defined their world. A landmark text in Australian literary studies, Exiles at Home leaves the reader asking a provocative question: how many other voices remain waiting to be reclaimed?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203206586587,"sku":"2026200015282-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5cbebae2-c340-4a5e-8561-687bee57e219.png?v=1788145712","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015282-secondhand-exiles-at-home-australian-women-writers-1925-1945","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
