Miles Franklin on Dearborn Street, Chicago, 1906-15
Abstract
Kirkby discusses Miles Franklin's time in Chicago and the intersection there of her political and literary activities. Kirkby argues that Franklin's work in the American Women's Trade Union League provided her with 'subject matter for her novels, an opportunity to articulate and act upon her feminism, access to political power, and a close supportive female environment' (345).
