This project, the first to examine gendered violence in Australian literature, argues that literary texts by Australian women writers offer unique ways of understanding the social problem of gendered violence, bringing this often private and suppressed issue into the public sphere. It draws on the international field of violence studies to investigate how these writers challenge the victim paradigm and figure women's agencies. By including white, Indigenous and minority women writers in its case studies, and by interviewing selected writers, it will shed new light on the role of gendered violence in the diverse and interconnected cultural histories of the nation, and will significantly extend the parameters of the Australian literary canon.

这个项目是第一个研究澳大利亚文学中的性别暴力的项目，它认为澳大利亚女性作家的文学文本提供了理解性别暴力这一社会问题的独特方式，将这个往往是私人和被压制的问题带入了公共领域。它利用国际暴力研究领域来调查这些作家如何挑战受害者范式和妇女机构的形象。通过将白人、土著和少数族裔女性作家纳入其案例研究，并通过采访选定的作家，它将新地揭示性别暴力在该国多样化和相互关联的文化史中的作用，并将大大扩展澳大利亚文学经典的参数。
