Geraldine Wooller (born 7 November 1941) is an Australian novelist, short-story writer and essayist. Her novels are predominantly reflective works on the nature of love, friendship, loss and endurance.[1]
Wooller grew up in the suburbs of Perth, primarily raised by her Scottish mother. She commenced her tertiary education in the 1970s, the era of the second wave of feminism. Her working career has involved the administration of music education, public relations, schools liaison for prospective university students and teaching both foreign languages and English as a second language for adults.
Her work has been favourably reviewed by the late Elizabeth Jolley.[2] She now writes from her home in Perth.
