Keynotes (1893) is a collection of short stories by George Egerton, the pseudonym of Mary Chavelita Dunne (1859–1945), born in Melbourne. She spent her childhood in Ireland, where she settled for a time, and considered herself to be "intensely Irish". The stories explore relationships between women across class barriers, and include open discussions of women’s sexuality – controversial subjects at this time.
