First Edition. This document of urban working-class life in 1950s Australia is also a remarkably well crafted novel, combining the shifting narrative viewpoint pioneered by Modernism with a relentless realist mode. Well before the upsurge of feminism Dorothy Hewetthomed in on embattled female lives. The book abounds with portraits of working women, married and unmarried, middle-aged and young, zestful and tired. These varied existences form the collective hero(ine) of a novel whose social message has lost nothingof its urgency. pp. 204 #0920 (Damaged dustjacket, name blacked out on prelim.)

Dorothy Coade Hewett AM (21 May 1923 – 25 August 2002) was an Australian feminist poet
