Miles Franklin
Some Everyday Folk and Dawn
Set in 1904, Some Everyday Folk and Dawn explores the vibrant yet turbulent atmosphere of Noonoon, where the womens suffrage movement is gaining momentum. As election campaigners eagerly vie for the female vote, tensions rise among the male residents who feel their dominance is under threat. Meanwhile, at Clays, Grandma Clay is acutely aware of the marriage market as her spirited granddaughter, Dawn, dreams of pursuing a career on the stage during a time when such aspirations seem fraught with obstacles. Will Dawns bold ambitions clash with the societal expectations of her time? - Summary by Trove - National Library of Australia
