In this collection of essays, performance pieces, poetry and prose from Sybylla Feminist Press, mother as noun, appendage and agenda is mined for meaning in the context of contemporary Australian society.

Finola Moorhead pulls no punches, her voice is extraordinarily fresh, direct and honest, she takes chances, she is often surreal, and always challenging in both her ideas and style. Tough and uncompromising, she writes out of the modern nitty gritty of Australian life. She stitches together essays, reviews and short stories that make an incisive comment on the process of writing.

In a world where women are seen and not heard, women make excellent spies. Gathering information, attending functions or taking a simple holiday by the beach, these women are to be reckoned with. From Paraguay to Paris, from Hong Kong to Pine Gap, the women are watching and interfering. As intriguing and surprising as the mystery it describes, ''A Gap in the Records'' opens up a startling space where there was once familiar lines dividing spy stories from feminist fictions, lyricism from political thrillers, humour from literary theory. Here, in a work of rare formal beauty, a fascinating story is pursued across a contemporary landscape of scandal and paranoia, conspiracy and corruption -- and in the process, Jan McKemmish invents a new kind of fiction.
