Projecting Australia to Children : Marion Halligan's The Midewife's Daughters Ulla Rahbek , 2005 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Studies , vol. 20 no. 1&2 2005; (p. 255-264) "This paper discusses Marion Halligan's children's book The Midwife's Daughters. It focuses on how the daughters embody all that is best of Australia as it is projected to children in this short text: cleanliness, health, strength, freedom and liberty. The daughters are read as descendants of Louisa Lawson's bush-girls, whom she called a race of splendid women. It concludes by drawing attention to what the paper calls maidship, as a valuable alternative to the dominant idea of mateship." (255)
