Women marginalization has always been a constitutive element of colonial discourses. These discourses often depict women of subaltern groups as biologically and culturally inferior. However, powerful voices from the former colonies and emanating from women writers of the postcolonial period have challenged these stereotypes. The present article examines how Aboriginal women writers have looked for ways through which they could express their voices, unveil colonial oppression, present their people's history from their own perspective, and reclaim their ancestral identity. The article emphasizes Sally Morgan's autobiographical novel My Place as a postcolonial counter discourse that enables its author to act as a spokeswoman of her society and to empower her Aboriginal identity. The article engages Morgan's work in the quest for this identity, and it aims at revealing that her major concerns are to achieve self-discovery, transmit the history of her people, and reassert her identity.
