Virago modern classics, 1984, softcover, 282 pages, condition: very good.
The women at the heart of these novellas are misrepresented by men and by societal expectations. But they remain defiant. These are modern women, waiting for the world to catch up. Stead captures the contradictions and complications of the 1960s, and their effects on the lives of women and girls.
Christina Stead (19021983) was an Australian writer regarded as one of the twentieth centurys master novelists. Stead spent most of her writing life in Europe and the United States, and her varied residences acted as the settings for a number of her novels. She is best known for The Man Who Loved Children (1940), which was praised by author Jonathan Franzen as a crazy, gorgeous family novel and one of the great literary achievements of the twentieth century. Stead died in her native Australia in 1983.
