 My Brilliant Career
My Brilliant Career (1979) was a coming of age story based on the Miles Franklin's book of the same title (Armstrong cited in Wright, 1986:92).
My Brilliant Career could be considered a "Quality" film due to its beautiful and realistic reproduction of the physical aspects of the 1890's (McFarlane, 1987:171).
My Brilliant Career appears to be a dominant and significant film in the history of Australian Cinema hence one will find a reference to it in nearly any published work on cultural or media studie in Australia.

"My Brilliant Career" is one of my all time favorite movies as it has warmth, charm, great acting, and incredible chemistry.
It is the story of how one woman; Judy Davis, had the courage to stand up for herself in the Australian outback at the turn of the century and not let anyone tell her what to do or how to feel.
Davis, at that time, was destined to be one of our greatest actress and since that movie I have followed her career and indeed she has proven her skills over and over again.

My Brilliant Career, her first novel, was published to much excitement and acclaim.
My Brilliant Career is a wonderful novel that arose amidst the swarm of hop-and-skippity poems of Henry Lawson and the doggerel style of Banjo Patterson (and written by a woman as well!!)
I'm not exactly sure, but I think that MF wrote this book when she was still fairly young (16 or 17), and it sends shivers down my spine to think of a young girl with such energy and pride so long ago.

I found my own deeply held social justice convictions explored in her science fiction of the 1970s and '80s.
Her collections of short stories were required vacation reading, when I had the leisure to admire her lyrical style and glory in how she puts words together.
In contrast to her extraordinary career, Le Guin's life seems staid and ordinary; she's been married to historian Charles Le Guin for 47 years, and they have three children and three grandchildren.
