"This essay considers whether Homi Bhaba's notion of 'Mimicry' sheds any light on the discourse of Nation in Furphy's Such Is Life, or on what postcoloniality might mean in an Australian context" (63).
'The questions that form the basis of this essay are concerned with how Franklin negotiated her place as a woman in the early twentieth century as a professional, as a socialist, as a suffrage feminist, and as an Australian expatriate playwright' (74).
Examines the construction of woman and the status of her knowledge within the pre-pastoral, pastoral, and anti-pastoral worlds evoked in the two novels by White.
