Miles Franklin
Stella Maria Sarah Miles Franklin, known as Miles Franklin (14 October 187919 September 1954) was an Australian writer and feminist who is best known for her novel ''My Brilliant Career'', self-published in 1901. While she wrote throughout her life, her other major literary success, ''All That Swagger'', was not published until 1936.
She was committed to the development of a uniquely Australian form of literature, and she actively pursued this goal by supporting writers, literary journals, and writers' organisations. She has had a long-lasting impact on Australian literary life through her endowment of a major annual prize for literature about "Australian Life in any of its phases", the Miles Franklin Award. Her impact was further recognised in 2013 with the creation of the Stella Prize, awarded annually for the best work of literature by an Australian woman.
==Life and career==
Franklin was born at Talbingo, New South Wales, and grew up in the Brindabella Valley on a property called Brindabella Station.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/franklin-stella-maria-sarah-miles-6235 )〕 She was the eldest child of Australian-born parents, John Maurice Franklin and Susannah Margaret Eleanor Franklin, née Lampe,〔State Library of New South Wales〕 who was the great-granddaughter of Edward Miles (or Moyle) who had arrived with the First Fleet in the Scarborough with a seven years sentence for theft.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/franklin-stella-maria-sarah-miles-6235 )〕 Her family was a member of the squattocracy. She was educated at home until 1889 when she attended Thornford Public〔 During this period she was encouraged in her writing by her teacher, Mary Gillespie (1856–1938) and Tom Hebblewhite (1857–1923) editor of the local Goulburn newspaper.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/77226/20071011-0000/www.sl.nsw.gov.au/exhibitions/miles/miles_guide.pdf )〕
Her best known novel, ''My Brilliant Career'', tells the story of an irrepressible teenage girl, Sybylla Melvyn, growing to womanhood in rural New South Wales. It was published in 1901 with the support of Australian writer, Henry Lawson.〔Roe (1981)〕 After its publication, Franklin tried a career in nursing, and then as a housemaid in Sydney and Melbourne. Whilst doing this she contributed pieces to ''The Daily Telegraph'' and ''The Sydney Morning Herald'' under the pseudonyms "An Old Bachelor" and "Vernacular." During this period she wrote ''My Career Goes Bung'' in which Sybylla encounters the Sydney literary set, but it was not released to the public until 1946.
