— Review of Friends and Rivals : Four Great Australian Writers Brenda Niall , 2020 selected work biography ;

When women question or confront their destiny, cracks appear.” Half a beat behind The Bulletin writers — rhapsodising about mateship in “the real Australia” — there were several women who ignored it, worked their way around it and, in one case, challenged it directly.'
