Young, she was unable to say no to anyone who asked her to make love. Her reasons for her behaviour were all her own; never, after she'd had me did she allow another man to enter her; my birth was her real marriage. And when I was six, she shut herself away entirely.'\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Woman of the Future\u003c\/i\u003e, first published in 1979, was David Ireland's best-selling sixth novel and his third to win the Miles Franklin Award.\u003cbr\u003e An imaginative tour de force, it is the story of the young life of Anthea Hunt-from conception to sexual awakening.
