Abstract: The lives of ten eminent Australian women across seven talent domains were explored for factors that contributed to the development of their talent. Nine themes and related sub-themes emerged that were linked to the Model of Adult Female Talent Development (MAFTD) developed by Noble, Subotnik & Arnold (1996, 1999). Results provided support for this MAFTD as an appropriate representation or framework of talent development for gifted females. In addition, these themes expand and elucidate elements of this MAFTD thereby adding a depth of knowledge based on the lives of eminent Australian women. This is the first study to investigate the talent development of Australian women from a feminist perspective.
