Property ownership has long been a contested area of male–female relations. Laws, and bank and finance company practices have been modified over time, but the universally recognised pay gap and pensions and superannuation gap inexorably leads to a wealth and property gap for women. Yet young women’s literature has sometimes played a subtle or not so subtle role in alerting girls and, hence, women to their right to property ownership. Australian, Canadian, British and American writers incorporated tales of female inheritance into their novels revolving around wills or intestacy; family ownership of large property holdings—explicitly including women family members; and women’s engagement in decision-making about houses and land—and even businesses, manors and castles. This chapter considers the work of Mary Grant Bruce, LM Montgomery, Elsie J Oxenham, and Roberta Moss and the way in which they depicted land as an important component in the acknowledgement of women’s rights, together with their representation of the vital importance of property and ownership, contribution and connection to girls growing up and the women they were to become.
