Miles Franklin’s Forgotten Years

Miles Franklin’s Forgotten Years

Overview

After achieving fame at just 21 with her groundbreaking novel My Brilliant Career, Miles Franklin disappeared from the public eye. This is the untold story of the decade that transformed her into a fearless advocate for working women.

In Miles Franklin Undercover, Kerrie Davies reveals a little-known chapter in Miles’ life, spanning the servant quarters of Sydney and Melbourne’s elite homes to the bustling streets of Chicago during a time of social upheaval. Drawing on a previously unpublished manuscript, diary entries from Miles’ undercover year as a servant, her candid correspondence with poet Banjo Paterson, and rich archival material, Davies paints a vivid portrait of resilience and reinvention.

Discover the inspiring story of a young woman who defied convention and became her own heroine.
