It offers a unique perspective on a distinct geographic landscape, exploring themes like Aboriginality, national identity, migration, and the complexities of living in a vast continent, providing a rich cultural lens that differs from other established literary traditions while still engaging with universal human experiences. Australia has been the colony of Great Britain for more than one century. Most early writers were settlers from Great Britain. Though there has been the dominance of male colonial Australian authors like Henry Lawson, Banjo Paterson, Marcus Clarke, Charles Harpur, etc. Australia has also produced a number of women authors like Catherine Helen Spence, Ada Cambridge, Rosa Praed, etc. who asserted themselves as powerful literary figures in the colonial Australia. The aim of the paper is to throw some light on few women novelists of colonial Australia mentioning their important works, themes, characterizations, narrative techniques, etc.
