(p87) It may be that all the editing of My Brilliant Career by more experienced hands had been the making of it. (p186) Miles Franklin never changed her view that war was a prime example of male lunacy. (p202, during WW1) ... Far from protecting women, war exposed them. But then, at the end of the text, she wonders if she would draw similar conclusions if writing from within the German Empire. | |

So long as personal freedom and national identity are valued in this world, so long will the life of Miles Franklin command attention and affection. In 1955, her cousin Leslie Bridle recalled her as 'the most colourful personality we had ever met ... for us, she can never die.' (Zum Anzeigen anklicken.
