Coral Lansbury wrote in a number of different registers and genres. Serially, she was an Australian radio script and ‘soaps’ writer, studied in New Zealand as an expatriate, became a Distinguished Professor of English specialising in British Victorian Studies in the USA and then a novelist. As well as boomeranging between writing careers and countries of the Anglosphere, the thrice-married Lansbury experienced widowhood, unmarried motherhood and divorce; she abandoned her child to her husband and later reconciled with her son. Her life reads like a plot from one of her novels. Lansbury was not active in women’s associations or the organised feminist movement. Her radio work, lectures and book tours in which she expounded her ‘crypto’ and, then later, ‘economic’ and ‘conservative-anarchist’ feminism were ephemeral. I argue that she should be repatriated into the history of postwar Australian feminism because, while mercurial and living in the USA, she pursued an expatriate professional strategy successfully and consistently sought to extend women’s vocation through kinds of popular literature. Her work reveals pluralism as much as contradiction.

“俏皮的多元主义者”：“加密女权主义者”珊瑚兰斯伯里的先锋流派漫游

Coral Lansbury 以多种不同的语域和体裁写作。随后，她是一名澳大利亚广播剧本和“肥皂剧”作家，曾作为外籍人士在新西兰学习，在美国成为专门从事英国维多利亚时代研究的英语杰出教授，然后是小说家。除了在写作生涯和英语圈国家之间来回奔波之外，三婚的兰斯伯里还经历了丧偶、未婚母亲和离婚；她将孩子遗弃给了丈夫，后来与儿子和解。她的生活读起来就像她的一部小说中的情节。兰斯伯里在妇女协会或有组织的女权运动中并不活跃。她在广播工作、讲座和书籍巡回演出中阐述了她的“密码学”，以及后来的“经济”和“保守无政府主义”女权主义，这些都是昙花一现。我认为她应该被重新载入战后澳大利亚女权主义的历史，因为她在反复无常并居住在美国的同时，成功地追求了一种外派职业战略，并始终如一地寻求通过各种流行文学来扩展女性的职业。她的作品揭示了多元性和矛盾性。
