"Kerryn Goldsworthy has selected an anthology of stories by Australia's best female writers from the nineteenth century to the late 1990s. This collection maintains a 'best of' approach within a wide range of styles and subject matter, offering a mixture of classic stories and others that might be less familiar and more surprising.
Contemporary Australian fiction is well represented in stories by such well-known writers as Elizabeth Jolley, Beverley Farmer, Kate Grenville, and Beth Yahp. The 1930s and 1940s offer a rich source of material, with stories from Henry Handel Richardson, Katharine Susannah Prichard, and Marjorie Barnard. Other well-known names include Barbara Baynton, Jessica Anderson, and Christina Stead.
Readers will find stories in different genres - romance, humour, detective stories, speculative fiction - and stories that have a strong local or regional emphasis: Thea Astley's North Queensland, Carmel Bird's Tasmania, Helen Garner's Inner Melbourne. The inclusion of stories by Aboriginal, Asian and European Australian writers gives depth and richness to the collection, as it did for Goldsworthy's 1996 anthology, the acclaimed 'Australian Love Stories'."
