  • The Fairfax Women and the Arts and Crafts Movement, 1899-1914
    CHAPTER 2 - FROM NEEDLEWORK TO WOODCARVING: THE FAIRFAX WOMEN AND THE ARTS AND CRAFTS MOVEMENT, 1899-1914 By the beginning of the twentieth century, the various campaigns of the women's movement had begun to affect the lives of non-campaigners. As seen in the previous chapter activists directly encouraged individual women who would profit from and aid the acquisition of new opportunities for women. Yet a broader mass of women had already experienced an increase in educational and professional freedom, had acquired constitutional acknowledgment of the right to national womanhood suffrage, and in some cases had actually obtained state suffrage. While these in the end were qualified victories, they did have an impact on the activities and lifestyles of middle-class Australian women. Some women laid claim to an increased level of cultural agency. The arts appeared to fall into that twilight zone where mid-Victorian stereotypes of feminine behaviour were maintained in some respects, while the boundaries of professionalism and leadership, and the hierarchy of artistic genres were interrogated by women. Many women had absorbed the cultural values taken to denote middle-class respectability in Britain, and sought to create a sense of refinement within their own homes. Both the 'new woman' and the conservative matriarch moved beyond a passive appreciation and domestic application of those arts, to a more active role as public promoters or creators of culture. Where Miles Franklin fell between the two stools of nationalism and feminism, the women at the forefront of the arts and crafts movement in Sydney merged national and imperial influences with Victorian and Edwardian conceptions of womanhood.

  • Autoantibody-Mediated Arthritis in The
    Auger et al. Arthritis Research & Therapy 2012, 14:R269 http://arthritis-research.com/content/14/6/R269 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Autoantibody-mediated arthritis in the absence of C3 and activating Fcg receptors: C5 is activated by the coagulation cascade Jennifer L Auger1, Stefanie Haasken1,2 and Bryce A Binstadt1* Abstract Introduction: The effector functions of immunoglobulin G (IgG) are mediated by interaction of its Fc region with Fc receptors (FcgRs) and/or the complement system. The three main pathways of complement activation converge at C3. However, C3-independent pathways can activate C5 and other downstream complement components during IgG-initiated inflammatory responses. These C3-independent pathways of C5 activation are triggered by activating FcgRs in some systems or can be activated by factors of the coagulation cascade such as thrombin. Here we studied the interplay of C3, C5, and activating FcgRs in a model of spontaneous autoantibody-driven arthritis. Methods: We utilized the K/BxN TCR transgenic mouse model of arthritis. We bred K/BxN mice bearing targeted or naturally-occurring mutations in one or more of the genes encoding complement components C3, C5, and FcRg, the cytoplasmic signaling chain shared by the activating FcgRs. We measured arthritis development, the production of arthritogenic autoantibodies, T cell activation status and cytokine synthesis. In addition, we treated mice with anti-C5 monoclonal antibodies or with the thrombin inhibitor argatroban. Results: We have previously shown that genetic deficiency of C5 protects K/BxN mice from the development of arthritis. We found here that C3-deficient K/BxN mice developed arthritis equivalent in severity to C3-sufficient animals.
