Synopsis
Stella Maria Sarah Miles Franklin (1879-1954) was an Australian writer and feminist, best known for her autobiographical novel, My Brilliant Career, published in 1901, which tells the story of an irrepressible teenage feminist growing to womanhood in rural New South Wales. After My Brilliant Career, she tried a career in nursing, and then as a housemaid in Sydney and Melbourne. Whilst doing this she contributed pieces to The Daily Telegraph and The Sydney Morning Herald. In 1906, she moved to the USA and undertook secretarial work, and co-edited the leagueâ s magazine, Life and Labor. Her years in the U. S. are reflected in On Dearborn Street (not published until 1981). Also while in America she wrote Some Everyday Folk and Dawn (1909). In 1915, she travelled to England and worked in a Scottish Womenâ s Hospital. She resettled in Australia in 1932 after the death of her father and during a decade wrote several historical novels of the Australian bush. Although most of these were published under the pseudonym â Brent of Bin Bin, â her masterpiece All That Swagger (1936) was published under her own name.

About the Author
Stella Maria Sarah Miles Franklin, known as Miles Franklin (1879 - 1954) was an Australian writer and feminist who is best known for her novel My Brilliant Career, self-published in 1901. While she wrote throughout her life, her other major literary success, All That Swagger, was not published until 1936. She was committed to the development of a uniquely Australian form of literature and she actively pursued this goal by supporting writers, literary journals and writers' organizations. She has had a long-lasting impact on Australian literary life through her endowment of a major annual prize for literature about "Australian Life in any of its phases", the Miles Franklin Award. Her impact was further recognized in 2013 with the creation of the Stella Prize, awarded annually for the best work of literature by an Australian woman
