澳大利亚著名女作家凯特.格兰维尔(Kate Grenville)曾创作了一系列女性题材的作品。其获奖小说《莉莲的故事》中许多文本意象都“隐喻了父权秩序对女性身体和精神的双重压制以及女性的拒绝与反抗”。该作品受存在主义的影响,强调女性自我定义的重要性并探讨了这一过程中女性与他人和历史的关系问题,从而跳出了书写女性个体生命史的局限性,给整部作品以某种历史的关照。 The famous Australian woman writer Kate Grenville has created a series of female themes. Many of the textual images in his award-winning novel The Story of Lillian “metaphor the double repression of the female body and spirit in the patriarchal order and the refusal and resistance of women.” The work is influenced by existentialism, emphasizing the importance of women’s self-definition and discussing the relationship between women and others and history in the process, thus jumping out of the limitation of writing female individual life history, The history of care.
