In telling their story\/ies, this book charts the battle for recognition of their modernist art and vision, pointing out significant moments of similarity in their lives and work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Although separated by thousands of miles, their experience of colonial modernity was startlingly analogous, as white settler women bent on forging artistic careers in a male-dominated world and sphere rigged against them. Through all this, though, their cultural importance endures; two remarkable women whose poetry and painting still speak to us today of their passionate belief in the transformative power of art.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnne Collett \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor of English Literatures at the University of Wollongong, Australia.
