August 1914. The German Army invades Belgium: it's the beginning of the First World War. Military operations in the little country involve one hundred thousands Belgian soldiers and seven hundred thousands German ones. Plus a woman. Louise Mack sailed to Belgium to write some articles for the "Daily Mail" from behind the front line, but soon she took part to dramatic events such as the siege of Anvers and the German occupation, that led her to become the first female war-correspondent ever. First published in 1915, "A Woman's Experiences in the Great War" thrilled and touched English readers giving a woman's point of view on one of the big tragedies of the xx century.

"A Woman's Experience in the Great War" from Louise Mack. Australian poet, journalist and novelist (1870-1935).

An Australian Girl in London, first published in 1902, is an endearing look at the journey of self-discovery that many young women of means made to the heart of Empire around the time of Federation. Its author, Louise Mack, a friend and rival of Ethel Turner, captures the experience of a provincial young woman immersing herself in the epic metropolis of London - its hard urban edges, and the challenges it poses for colonial talent, but also its rich history and culture.Sylvia Leighton embarks on an increasingly familiar narrative in turn-of-the-century Australian fiction, travelling to England to establish herself in a country she has long dreamed of visiting. Fellow Australian Emmie Jones joins her, and the two girls share a boarding house and a very close bond.'The first impressions of a thoughtful and observant person are worth having, especially when they are pleasantly and vividly recorded.' - Sydney Morning Herald

The World is Round is a lively novel, which tells the story of Jean, a lovely and likeable young Sydney woman with literary aspirations. First published in 1896, the vitality and immediacy of this Australian classic are as startling and attractive as the insouciant charm and exuberance of the heroine's personality. Pointed satirical portraits of society evenings are painted compassionately, with gentle humour but unerring perspicacity. This tragicomic novel is witty, vibrant, and ultimately a powerful drama of a woman's path to self-knowledge.This edition of The World is Round is introduced by the novelist and travel writer Nancy Phelan.
