About the Film:
This visually stunning film is based on the novel by the same title, written by Stella Maria Sarah Miles Franklin (1879–1954), one of the major Australian authors of her time. The film follows the life of a teenage Australian girl in the early twentieth century, similar to the girls depicted in our Angels & Tomboys exhibition.
