Works about this Work

“An Independent Little Sausage” : Sexual Agency and Desire On Dearborn Street Janet Lee , 2021 single work criticism
— Appears in: Women's Writing , February vol. 28 no. 1 2021; (p. 59-74)
'In the teeming public space of modern U.S. cities at the end of the long nineteenth century, New Women carved out a place for themselves and navigated the opportunities and constraints associated with love and vocation on the eve of war. I address these representations, and focus on sexual agency and desire through the lens of Australian feminist Stella Miles Franklin's New Woman novel, On Dearborn Street. I examine Franklin's portrayals of a nuanced and somewhat contradictory sexual self-determination influenced by her personal and political life in Chicago, and emphasise the ways the novel resists romance narratives by refusing the choice between marriage and independence.' (Publication abstract)

y separately published work icon The Female Dilemma : Subversion and Art in Some Novels by Australian Women Writers Loretta Ravera Chion , Canberra : 1986 19384725 1986 single work thesis

'This thesis examines seven Australian novels written by women in different periods over the last one hundred years. Its point of departure is Simone de Beauvoir's characterization of relations between the genders where men are the "one" and women are consigned to an inferior status of the "other" .

'In the light of the questions which Beauvoir poses about how women can attain fulfilment in their oppressed condition this thesis examines the nature of the social relations portrayed in the novels, the extent to which the principal female characters' choices were dictated by them and how those characters address the problems of self perception and realization.'
