Description xxix, 427 pages, 16 pages of plates ; 25 cm Contents Index Summary Mary Gilmore "lived for ninety-seven years and this selection of her letters covers a period of almost seventy years, encompassing the social political and literary scene of the period when Australia was changing from colony to nation. The letters contain perceptive judgements of indigenous [sic] literary talent as it was emerging; they contain reflections on the pioneer past as she herself had experienced it and reflections on the contemporary political and social environment. Sometimes they express her anger at injustice and deprivation wherecer it occurred - in the treatment of the Aborigines, the returned soldiers, women, children, old people, the sick."
