1 y separately published work icon Loaded Hearts Adrienne Sallay , Roseville : Ace Press , 2010 Z1724940 2010 single work novel

'Loaded Hearts spans four continents, three decades and two generations, delving into family secrets, the counter-culture, place and belonging. Maxine Bailey and Tommo Johnston march against the war in 1970 but his marble comes up and he goes to fight in Vietnam. Following the hippie trail, Maxine travels to Bali, London, Morocco, and Venice.

'Loaded Hearts charts the fortunes of the lovers across thirty years, exploring their lives in a society of rapid social change, where jobs are plentiful, travel is cheap and love is free. Or is it? Surrounded by colourful characters such as Geordie Jack and Polythene Pam, Maxine and Tommo discover what's important in life, only to lose it all too soon.' (From the publisher's website.)
1 These Words are Loaded Hearts : Adrienne Sallay , 2010 single work criticism
— Appears in: Long Paddock , no. 6 2010; 'The aim of this essay is to consider, with close reading and in the context of feminist theory, the question of representation itself as a central presence in the work of Vicki Viidikas, and to examine how and why her work still holds currency today. A discussion of her work allows for its reappraisal, appropriate in the light of its undervaluation at the time of publication, and relevant with the 2010 publication of a fresh book of her work, New and Rediscovered, edited by Barry Scott (with a foreword by Kerry Leves) and published by Transit Lounge Publishing of Melbourne.'

1 y separately published work icon Loaded Hearts : Women Writing from the Margins in the 1970s, An Analysis and a Novel Adrienne Sallay , Australia : 2008 Z1907369 2008 single work thesis 'This project explores how Australian creative writing of the 1970s changed the way women's lives were represented, reflecting the shift in societal attitudes of the late twentieth century, leading to the emergence of the modern Australian feminist novel. Australian women's fiction of the 1970s also provides inspiration for the novel component of this project, Loaded Hearts, which explores women's subjectivity, their sexuality, notions of marriage and family, independence and agency.'
