Biographies

FULLERTON, MARY ELIZA (1868-1946), writer, was born on 14 May 1868 at Glenmaggie, Victoria, second surviving child of Robert Fullerton, born in Belfast of Presbyterian Scot extraction, and his wife Eliza, née Leathers, from Suffolk, England. Her father 'didn't know a plough from a handsaw' before he took up a selection in the Gippsland bush and built the bark hut where Mary was born. Mary was educated at home by her mother and at the local state school. She read avidly as a child: by the age of 11 she had read Paradise lost three times; she knew long passages of Shelley and Byron by heart and was steeped in the Bible. She also began to compose verse of her own.

Mary Fullerton was involved with the Victorian Socialist Party and Women's Political Association, and was active in the suffrage movement in Australia. She wrote stories and poems for newspapers, sometimes using the pseudonyms of Alpenstock and Austeal. In 1922 she moved to England, where she developed a strong friendship with the author Miles Franklin. Over the course of her life, Fullerton published several novels and volumes of poetry. Her novel Two Women (written under a pseudonym) won a prize when it was published in 1923. Her childhood memoir, Bark House Days, was published in 1921, and reprinted twice.
