Authors

  • Elizabeth Perkins

Abstract

Agnes Melda Prince. Esther Mary, My Pioneer Mother. Freemantle: Fremantle Arts Centre Press, 1981. $4.50. 57 pp.
Eileen Haley and Lillian Rosser. Memories of an Australian Girlhood. Brisbane: Hecate Press, 1980. •Hardback $7.95; paperback $4.95. 141 pp.

The most effective writing in any cause is usually the least polemical, and these two books quietly and devastatingly undermine the strongest bastions of male arrogance and female defensiveness without raising their voices above a pleasant and wryly humorous tone.
