BiographyHistory

Ethel Webb Bundell arrived in Australia as a baby when her parents migrated in 1927; the family eventually settled in Western Australia. Educated at Perth Modern School and the University of Western Australia, Bundell began publishing poetry and short stories at the age of seventeen. Since these early beginnings her work has been consistently published both in Australia and overseas.

A contributor to numerous journals and magazines such as Australian Women's Weekly, Westerly, Artlook and the Bulletin, Bundell's writing has also been anthologised in various publications including Sandgropers (1973), The Blindfold Horse and Other Stories (1975), Summerland (1979), Breakaway (1980) and A Spin of Gold Wattle (1982). From 1984 to 1986 Bundell was Federal President of the Society of Women Writers (Australia).
