AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This anthology of new Australian stories from emerging women writers, launched on International Womens Day 2012, was inspired by the debate about the under-representation of women in writing and publishing. These stirring stories by Cheryl Adam, Helen Addison-Smith, Anne Hotta, Susie Greenhill and Georgina Luck with a foreword by Margo Lanagan range across the globe as they explore our contemporary relationship with the natural world, with gender, privilege and loneliness, and ask what it means to be human in a rapidly changing world.' (Publisher's blurb)

Calving, Georgina Luck , single work short story

'Luck brings us the mystery that is "daughter" from a skilfully realised father’s point of view, its final paragraphs capturing the titanic shifts of the reproductive life that outwardly, can seem nothing more than a whisper.'

She, Helen Addison-Smith , single work short story

'"She", is a stampede of a love story; darkly funny, sexual and angry, Addison-Smith marches fearlessly into the dangerous territory of grief and obligation.'

Forest, Susie Greenhill , single work short story

Under the Bridge, Cheryl Adam , single work short story
