Abstract
Contemporary women writers write extensively about failed marriages, frustrations that divorced women encounter in attempting to seek new possibilities of love romance, completely disappointed women living alone and lesbian women opting for a radical breakup with all men. In their narratives, one gets a glimpse of feminist women caught between two conflicting impulses. On one hand, they still crave for heterosexual love. On the other hand, they insist on guarding against violating their rights to equality and freedom. Contemporary Australian women's fiction offers a poignant depiction of this predicament of women.
