COMP CLOSED: Win "Rebellious Daughters"!

Australia has a wealth of talented female writers, all with plenty of stories to tell. Our giveaway book this week – Rebellious Daughters – brings many of them together to share their tales of rebellion and independence as daughters looking to make their way in the world.

“Powerful, funny and poignant, these true tales explore everything from getting into trouble in seedy nightclubs to lifelong family conflicts and marrying too young.” So says the media for this book. Edited by Maria Katsonis & Lee Kofman, it’s a celebration of what it means to be the opposite of a ‘good daughter’. As it says, “Not every woman is a mother, aunty or sister – but all women are daughters!”

We have two copies of this collection by Aussie writers/daughters to give away. And to be in to win one, simply tell us who YOUR favourite Australian female writer is AND WHY (in under 25 words). That’s it!

We’ll choose our two favourites to each win a copy of the book.

This competition has now closed – thanks for your entries!
