The 1930s were a remarkable decade in Australian cultural history, when women were producing most of the published fiction. Their novels made dramatic use of womens experience, dealing frankly with the underside of marriage and the infidelities of men, the cross-currents of poverty and gender, illegal abortion, and the terrible cost of race relations on the frontier. By the standards of the day, novels such as Katherine Susannah Prichard's Coonardoo, Eleanor Dark's Waterway, Christina Stead's Seven Poor Men of Sydney, and Dymphna Cusak's Come In Spinner were controversial, even scandalous. Exiles at Home traces a remarkable generation of women writers through letters, diaries, notebooks and the memories of contemporaries. It shows how they supported each other through the hard years of composition, through rejection and publication, the vicissitudes of reception and the perennial problem of earning a living.

"Mary Durack, who was the discoverer of this fascinating novel, contributes a forward describing the author's life and tribal background," (although given the revelations about the author since the publication of this book, should read troubled background).
