Talk:Miles Franklin

Untitled
I left intact the word "whilst" used by the previous writer, since it is just the sort of word Sybylla would have used in her teenage diary. It would be good if someone could include in this article a picture of Miles Franklin, or preferably two pictures--one of her as a teenager and one from her days of greatest literary productivity in the mid-1930s.

Sourcing
There are lot of unsubstantiated claims in this article, some verging on opinion and subjectivity. It needs more work. Sterry2607 09:26, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Outline of " My Brilliant Career"
I will be replacing the section Life and Career. I will be writing adding some background information on Miles Franklin's novel My Brilliant Career. The things that I will be focusing on are when did she write it, How old was she, and How long it take for her to write it. Sunflower 123Sunflower 123 (talk) 20:10, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

fascism?
Miles Franklin is part of the category Category:Australian fascists. This was news to me, and I can't see it discussed in the article. I have removed this category for now. I'm assuming it was vandalism? - Chris.sherlock (talk) 21:55, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Seems to have happened here. But I have looked at some sources and this might actually be something this article needs to explore, in particular I found this source. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 00:18, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
