BiographyHistory

Phyllis Power spent her early childhood in Australia, then travelled to Europe. In London, on 1 July 1906, in her Introduction to Two Stories, she wrote 'Australia is the land of my birth. It is my country ... The bush calls ever and anon to me, reminding me that it is Home.' Power returned to Australia in 1934. She also wrote From These Descended, a history of the ladies of one of Australia's great pastoral dynasties, the Clarke family, published in 1977, the year of her death.
