Shame about the Street
'There in the paper was a photograph of the newsreader in a fashionable restaurant, leaning across the table towards a companion whose face was in the shadow. Their hands were touching. A white circle was superimposed around the head of the other woman whose face was invisible "Lusty Lesley and Mole Girl Dine at L'Escargot" read the caption. "Isn't if wonderful!" hooted Celeste. "It's like a spot-the-ball competition. One cannot even make out who's supposed to be you, darling! One should complain. I would if I were you. Why didn't they use one of those zoom lenses?" "Because if they did, eveyone could see it isn't me, you silly old goat..." A boiling summer day in the not-too-distant future ...
Left for Dead
Montse Letkin works for the council. She's what you might call a snooper. Montse is getting so good at her job that her boss Gwendoline Rhodes - that's the one they used to call Red Gwen - has lined Montse up as her personal security consultant. Montse wasn't so good at that though - Gwendoline fell out of a high window. And it would suit a lot of people if Montse took the rap. In Montse Letkin, Diane Langford has created a heroine of our times, a bruised and cynical young woman learning the hard way that the personal really is political.
Don't Take Your Love to Town
Ruby Langford Ginibi' s remarkable talent for storytelling grabbed the attention of both black and white Australians when she released Don' t Take Your Love to Town, which has gone on to become a bestseller and is now a seminal work of Indigenous memoir.

Ruby recounts losing her mother when she was six, growing up in a mission in northern New South Wales and leaving home when she was fifteen. She lived in tin huts and tents in the bush and picked up work on the land while raising nine children virtually single-handedly. Later she struggled to make ends meet in the Koori areas of Sydney. Don' t Take Your Love to Town is a brilliant memoir that will open your eyes and heart to an extraordinary woman' s story.

Rites of Passage in Postcolonial Women's Writing
This volume brings a variety of new approaches and contexts to modern and contemporary women’s writing. Contributors include both new and well-established scholars from Europe, Australia, the USA, and the Caribbean. Their essays draw on, adapt, and challenge anthropological perspectives on rites of passage derived from the work of Arnold van Gennep and Victor Turner. Collectively, the essays suggest that women’s writing and women’s experiences from diverse cultures go beyond any straightforward notion of a threefold structure of separation, transition, and incorporation. Some essays include discussion of traditional rites of passage such as birth, motherhood, marriage, death, and berea...
