Works about this Work

Stella vs Miles : Women Writers and Literary Value in Australia Julieanne Lamond , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: Meanjin , Spring vol. 70 no. 3 2011; (p. 32-39)

'Stella Miles Franklin did not want readers of her novel My Brilliant Career to assume that its author was a woman. She wrote to its publishers, asking for the 'Miss' to be removed: she intended readers to believe it to be written by 'a bald-headed seer of the sterner sex'. When Henry Lawson first read it he was flummoxed by the gender of the author. He wrote to Franklin, asking her: 'Will you write and tell me what your really are? Man or woman?' This confusion is nowhere apparent in the preface he wrote for the novel's publication in 1901...' (Introduction, p 32)
