"A Girl Like Me in a Time Gone By" : Agency, Reading, and Writing in the Our Australian Girl Series,
single work
criticism
(p. 26-36)
'Agency and identity are developed in young people through many means, including literacy events. The Our Australian Girl series introduces the reader to significant aspects of Australian history and cultural multiplicity while having the potential of nurturing agency development. This article explores the representations of reading and writing that run like a thread throughout the series alongside comparable acts of creation like storytelling, dancing, and drawing. Reading offers the characters of these novels a chance to understand and question their worlds, and writing offers them a chance to remake them.' (Introduction)
