Biography
Carried away by the ideas of the utopian socialist W. Lane, she participated in the founding of the New Australia commune ( 1893 - 1899 ) in Paraguay. For 23 years she worked in the trade union newspaper Worker.
She wrote about female and maternal love, about the joys and worries of family life (collection "In the family and other poems", 1910). In Gilmore's poetry, Australia emerges, fanned by the legends of the natives, with a peculiar landscape, with the sorrows of the working people, with the struggle of courageous people for social justice.
The councils of the trade unions of Melbourne, Brisbane and Newcastle established in 1964 the Prize. Gilmore for the best literary works.
