Description

"Immense originality, wit, and gritty wisdom. . . . David Ireland has reached the top."--Patrick White

An imaginative tour de force, A Woman of the Future is the story of the young life of Anthea Hunt--from conception to sexual awakening. It is controversial and brilliant, and unlike anything else in Australian literature.
