"Full Cycle and Other Stories" is an Australian short fiction collection rooted in the landscapes and social textures of Western Australia, in which Lyndall Hadow, daughter of a trade union activist and a woman who lived and worked across the outback, draws on deep firsthand experience to illuminate the lives of women at every social level, charting the struggles of migrants seeking assimilation into the southwest, the constrained lives of Aboriginal women, and the entrenched dependence of women on men across the wheatbelt and the far north-west, bringing to each story the rare cross-class insight that writer Mena Calthorpe identified as Hadow's defining gift, and addressing subjects, including Aboriginal rights and lesbianism, that Australian publishing of the era was ill-equipped to receive.
