ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses Dane’s role as a journalist and literary critic and the audibility of her political voice in her non-fictional essays and magazine and newspaper articles. Registering liberal perspectives on the literary, aesthetic, political and cultural arena, they reveal her middlebrow identity and her progressive perspectives on a range of social and political issues. She registers her strong opposition to capital punishment, her support for internationalism and membership of PEN and the League of Nations and her commitment to championing women’s rights. These writings, mediated through the splintered and contradictory modes of inter-war feminism that emerged following the Great War, express her firmly feminist gender politics.
