Synopsis
Lorsque la pièce controversée d'Ibsen A Doll's House s'est ouverte à un public bondé au théâtre Princes de Melbsen, le claquement de la porte alors que Nora a laissé son mari dans l'acte final a fait écho dans l'esprit de milliers de jeunes femmes australiennes. Ce livre concerne quatre de ces femmes, nées à Victoria entre 1867 et 1893, qui ont vécu les changements qui ont balayé la vie, la culture et l'art au début du XXe siècle. Quatre courtes biographies retracent leur vie parallèle.
De Rome, Dora Ohlfsen a établi une carrière de sculpteur célèbre. Avec le soutien de Mussolini, elle est devenue le seul sculpteur expatrié en Italie commandé avec un monument commémoratif de guerre national. De manière significative, sa médaille Anzac a été la première œuvre d'art commémorative commémorative des Anzacs. Depuis Paris, Louise Dyer a revigoré l'édition et l'enregistrement musicaux, aidant à transformer la culture musicale dans le monde entier. Son label Les Éditions de L'Oiseau-Lyre a jeté les bases du renouveau de la musique ancienne moderne et a contribué à façonner la notion d'authenticité dans la performance musicale. De Londres, Clarice Zander a promu la compréhension culturelle en tant que conservatrice et publiciste pour la Royal Academy. Elle a été pionnière dans le marketing moderne de l'art et a organisé la première exposition importante d'art britannique contemporain en Australie. De New York, Mary Cecil Allen, peintre, critique et éducatrice, travaillant au centre de l'art moderne, en a inspiré beaucoup. Elle a dirigé la première exposition touristique d'art contemporain australien aux États-Unis.
Femmes modernes des arts, elles se sont réveillées à leur plein potentiel et ont créé des opportunités pour les autres de faire de même.
