Mary Cameron, poet and journalist, was born at Mary Vale, Woodhouselee,
near Goulburn, NSW, on 16 August 1865. She was educated at Brucedale,
near Wagga Wagga, and later at Wagga Wagga Public School. Between
1877 and 1895 she taught in a variety of schools in New South
Wales. She became involved in the New Australia movement and
on 31 October 1895 resigned from teaching and sailed to Paraguay
on the Ruapehu. Cameron remained at the Cosme settlement
in Paraguay until 1899. She married fellow colonist and Victorian
shearer William Alexander Gilmore (1866-1945) in 1897 and their
only child William Dysart Cameron Gilmore (1898-1945) was born
at Villarica, near Cosme. Before returning to Australia in 1902,
she taught English in Rio Gallegos in southern Patagonia and wrote
for Buenos Aires papers.
Gilmore's verse first appeared in the Australian Worker
in 1902, and from 1908-31 she edited the women's page of this
newspaper. Her first published volume, Marri'd and other verses
appeared in 1910. Other publications include The passionate
heart (1918), Hound of the road ( 1922), The tilted
cart (1925), The wild swan (1930), The rue tree
(1931), Under the wilgas (1932), Battlefields (1939),
and Fourteen men (1954).
In 1937, in recognition of her contribution to Australian literature,
she was made a Dame of the British Empire - the first woman to
receive this award for services to literature. Gilmore was a
founder of the Lyceum Club, Sydney, a founder and vice-president
in 1928 of the Fellowship of Australian Writers, an early member
of the New South Wales Institute of Journalists and life member
of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Dame Mary Gilmore died on 3 December 1962.
