Not-so-Demure Mrs Kelly, Rosemary Neill , single work essay
'Ned Kelly is our most heavily mythologised outlaw, but what about his mother, Ellen Kelly? Grantlee Kieza’s new biography, Mrs Kelly: The Astonishing Life of Ned Kelly’s Mother, contends that the woman who gave birth to the celebrated yet polarising bandit has largely been overlooked, despite her eventful life.' (Introduction)
(p. 5) Section: Review
Activist’s Writing at Odds with Islam Claims, Rick Morton , single work essay
'Activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied contradicted her own statement that Islam is “the most feminist ­religion” in her book in which she quotes the Koran as commanding women to wear a head covering so that they would be “decent”.' (Introduction)
(p. 10) Section: The Nation
Poetic Probing of the Big Issues, Ed Wright , single work essay

(p. 18) Section: Review
Portrait of a Serial Collaborator, Patricia Anderson , single work review
'As Joyce Morgan points out in her spirited and incisive biography of Martin Sharp, “biography does not take shape without great generosity, surprising encounters, memorable conversations and a dash of good luck”. She might have added ‘‘coincidence’’.' (Introduction)
(p. 19) Section: Review
Living with the Consequences, Joy Lawn , single work essay
'Nova Weetman has audaciously structured her story about two 15-year-olds who have killed a man in Everything is Changed (UQP, 272pp, $19.95) by telling it backwards. Clues unfurl about what happened in this tightly written psychological drama, culminating in the night everything changed.' (Introduction)
(p. 22) Section: Review
