ABSTRACT
Her career spanned the twentieth century, and her approach to writing was often frank and carefree. She spent little time worrying about the context, circumstances, target and very often even the titles of her writings, which remained untainted by what was generally thought to be appropriate or by what might be expected. It was less important for Travers to please an audience or even to express the opinions that she herself held than to give voice to that which she felt needed to be said. Favoring allusions, metaphors, suggestions often bordering on the cryptic, ambiguity, and open-endedness over any didactic claims, her writing is openly daring and yet inspires trust, even from those readers who might not be as independent and adventurous as she herself was.
