A Woman of the Future, first published in 1979, was David Ireland's best-selling sixth novel and his third to win the Miles Franklin Award. An imaginative tour de force, it is the story of the young life of Anthea Hunt - from conception to sexual awakening. It is controversial and brilliant, and unlike anything else in Australian literature. Now published as a Text Classic, it features a new introduction from Kate Jennings.

Reviews for A Woman Of The Future

'Immense originality, wit and gritty wisdom...David Ireland has reached the top.' -- Patrick White 'Remarkable...an extraordinary memoire of adolescence' * New York Times * 'A brilliant, often mind-blowing excursion...the sexual scenes here are as deliberately shocking as any recent fiction.' * Saturday Review * 'Superlative powers of observation...a very rewarding read.' -- Manning Clark 'A Woman of the Future is not just a novel, it is a phenomenon.' -- Douglas Stewart
