Je suis Australienne

About this book

"The six chapters of this book look to a sample of extraordinary women who travelled to France at different historical moments and who formulated their impressions in fiction, diaries, letters, autobiographies between 1880 and 1945. It was a fecund time in the development of Australian women's lives. As travellers they were challenged to adapt to new environments in a world of changing attitudes to feminine education, professionalism and sexuality. Some found themselves in the thick of new European artistic developments; others in the theatres of devastating world wars; all bonded irrevocably with the France they visited; some never returned."--Provided by publisher.
