Jane Mander is a novelist whose work was published between the World Wars. She overcame the geographic isolation of her birthplace and the limitations of her education to pursue academic studies and a literary career overseas. Leaving New Zealand on a scholarship in her thirties, she published six novels while living in New York and London. She was also a prolific journalist, reviewer and literary critic for various New Zealand newspapers, and she continued these roles on her return to New Zealand in the early 1930s.
