**My Brilliant Career** by Miles Franklin follows the story of Sybilla Melvyn, a young girl growing up in the Australian bush during the late 19th century. With dreams of becoming a writer and achieving independence, Sybilla navigates the challenges of familial expectations, societal norms, and her own ambitions. The novel captures her struggles and aspirations as she grapples with love, artistic identity, and the constraints placed on women of her time. **The Getting of Wisdom** by Henry Handel Richardson tells the story of Laura Tweedle Rambotham, a young girl who attends a strict boarding school in Melbourne. Laura's journey through adolescence is marked by her keen observations and desire for knowledge, which often clash with the expectations of her environment. The novel explores themes of education, identity, and the complexities of female friendship, as Laura seeks to forge her own path in a world filled with social conventions and personal dilemmas.
