1 General Analysis of Ada Cambridge's Sisters from the Perspective of Feminism Xin Xin Li , 2013 single work criticism
— Appears in: Journal of Xihua University , September vol. 32 no. 5 2013; (p. 64-67)
'The novel of Sisters, created in 1944, was considered to be one of the most significant works produced by Ada Cambridge, who was born and had grown up in Britain in the late 19th Century, and later immigrated to Australia, the new Continent. During that time, the first feminist movement began to sprout, and gradually reached its great popularity in western countries, especially in Britain. It's obvious that Ada Cambridge had been greatly influenced by this movement. Among all of her works, novels are of her great success, and Sisters is one of them. Epitomizing Ada's feminist concepts, this novel depicts the lives of four sisters from a broken-down aristocratic family, centered on which, various views of different social classes on love, marriage, money, identity and social status at that time are discussed in detail. This paper aims at tentatively interpreting the novel of Sister.. from the perspective of feminism, offering readers a quite different interpretation about it.'  (Publication abstract)

1 Ada Cambridge : A Great and Bold Female Writer of Colonial Australia Xin Xin Li , 2008 single work criticism
— Appears in: Journal of Xihua University , December vol. 27 no. 6 2008; (p. 61-63)
'Ada Cambridge is a well-known poet, novelist, journalist, and biographer in colonial Australia, who plays an important role in literary field of colonial Australia. However, at that time, female literature was scorned and regarded as "anomaly" by traditional literary critics; undoubtedly, Ada was grouped as a singular "anomaly" , facing such a terrible plight. This paper aims at exploring the subjects discussed in Ada's works, through which the conclusion can be drawn that Ada is a great and bold female writer in colonial Australia.'
