This is a very well-researched, comprehensive study of the life and work of Miles Franklin. It is written by notable Australian cultural historian, Jill Roe, who spent many years researching the life of Franklin. I would recommend this biography to anyone interested in Australian writers, women writers, or the development of Australian literature. ( )

(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.

Of one thing we may be sure. 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.'
