Dr. Sawer has published over 100 academic titles as well as a number of books, including Sisters in Suits: Women and Public Policy in Australia (Allen & Unwin, 1990); A Woman's Place: Women and Politics in Australia (with Marian Simms, 2nd Ed., Allen & Unwin, 1993) and Working from Inside: Twenty Years of the Office of the Status of Women (with Abigail Groves, Australian Government Publishing Service, 1994). Dr. Sawer has represented the ACT Government on the Council of the Constitutional Centenary Foundation and on the Centenary of Federation Advisory Committee. She was made an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in 1994 for 'services to women and to political science'. Guest Editorial Challenging Politics? Seventy-Five Years of Women's Parliamentary Representation in Australia Marian Sawer Australian National University /University of Canberra, Australia This year is the 75th anniversary of the election of Edith Cowan to the Western Australian parliament, the first woman to be elected to an Australian parliament. It is highly appropriate that the International Review of Women and Leadership should commemorate this anniversary with a special issue dedicated to women and politics. This has enabled us to use Edith Cowan's experience of parliamentary politics as a prism through which to examine continuing dilemmas of women's representation in public life - including concepts of women's interests, equality and difference, separatism versus integration and independence versus partisanship. Although Edith Cowan was alone of all her sex to become a legislator in Australia at the time, she was not the second in the British Empire to enter parliament, as inscribed on the tribute presented to her by the National Council of Women after the election. I. am one of those guilty of perpetuating this myth (A Woman's Place, 1984, 1993). We overlooked the social radicalism of the Canadian prairies during this period, of which women were very much a part. By the time of Edith Cowan's election (March 1921) she had been preceded into parliament by five women elected to provincial parliaments in Canada, as well i Guest Editorial as by Lady Astor in the United Kingdom. Two women had been elected in Alberta in 1917, one in British Columbia iiJ. 1918, one in Saskatchewan in 1919 and one in Manitoba in 1920. Sogiving due acknowledgment to these Canadian pioneers, Edith Cowan was the eighth woman to be elected to parliament in the British Empire and 1 the seventh to enter parliament • Twelve days after Edith Cowan's election to parliament, Mary Ellen Smith, already in her second term in the parliament of British Columbia, became the first woman Cabinet Minister in the British Empire. There were a number of shared elements in Cowan's experience and that of other first women MPs in the countries with which Australia shared the 'crimson thread of kinship'. Characteristically the 'first women', as beneficiaries of the women's suffrage movement, were seen as representatives of women-at-large as well as being accountable to their own electorates. The first women MPs embraced these dual accountabilities, unlike the women politicians discussed in this issue, who are often fearful of the additional representational burden involved, its implications for political careers in today' s highly disciplined party and factional systems, or simply because they do not identify with women as a group suffering from collective disadvantage. When Edith Cowan crowned her lifetime of community service by standing for parliament, for what principles did she stand? The first plank in her platform, 'Law and Order and the maintenance of Constitutional Government', was very much of her era, when fear of Bolshevism was rife. In other respects her 1921 platform ranged from 'difference' demands, such as motherhood endowment and 'national kitchens in every suburb', to the 'equality' demand of equal pay. In between came elements relating to social welfare which capture both the continuities and the discontinuities of the last century of the women's movement. Edith Cowan has now achieved iconic status, not only with her clock tower memorial at the entrance to Kings. Park, Perth, Western Australia, but with both a federal seat of parliament and a university named after her and her

  • Gender Neutrality and the Definition of Rape: Challenging the Law’S Response to Sexual Violence and Non-Normative Bodies
    GENDER NEUTRALITY AND THE DEFINITION OF RAPE: CHALLENGING THE LAW’S RESPONSE TO SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND NON-NORMATIVE BODIES ELISABETH MCDONALD* In 2005 the legislature of Aotearoa New Zealand chose for the second time, the first occurring in 1986, to retain the offence of rape as one of the ways in which the crime of sexual violation may be committed. The current definition of rape means that only those with a penis can be guilty of this offence, and only those with female genitalia can be a victim of such a crime. Despite use of the term in public vernacular being wider than the legal definition, little advocacy has been focussed on reforming this law, although those in the trans and intersex communities recognise their experiences are not reflected in the description of rape. In this piece I note the importance, and difficulty, of making visible within the legislative framework both the gendered nature of sexual offending as well as the vulnerabilities of those who have non-normative bodies. By considering the theory and critical analysis which informed the debates and law reform undertaken in other jurisdictions, I conclude that it is time to reconsider the actus reus of rape in Aotearoa New Zealand, with the aim of extending its scope so as to be responsive to all communities’ experiences of sexual violence. I INTRODUCTION Beginning with reform which took shape primarily in the mid-1970s, most common law jurisdictions have now adopted revised definitions of varying types of sexual offences. Early advocates for change were primarily concerned with the limited scope of the traditional crime of rape, including the requirement for force and the marital exemption.1 Feminists also agitated for * Professor, School of Law, University of Canterbury.

However, I would like to preface it with a tribute to my Canberra education. I first came here twenty-nine years ago disillusioned with the subject that I had taught for twenty years. I knew quite a lot about Britain and quite a lot about the United States, but the two systems were so deeply different that I could never make comparisons work; neither system seemed to throw light on the other.

  • The Incredible Woman: Power and Sexual Politics by Jocelynne a Scutt
    897 BOOK REVIEWS THE INCREDIBLE WOMAN: POWER AND SEXUAL POLITICS BY JOCELYNNE A SCUTT Sandra Petersson* Jocelynne A Scutt The Incredible Woman: Power and Sexual Politics (Artemis Publishing, Melbourne, 1997) (vol 1, 336 + xiv pages, $AUS34.95; vol 2, 354 + xvii pages, $AUS34.95). The Incredible Woman: Power and Sexual Politics is an anthology of scholarship by Jocelynne Scutt, Australian barrister and law reformer. While stated to cover 25 years of Scutt's activism, over three quarters of the articles are from the period 1990 to 1996, a fact that lends currency to the collection. The articles are arranged thematically under four headings. Volume One consists of "Part I — 'Judicial Wisdom', Patriarchal Power", a general examination of sexual politics in the legal system, and "Part II — Medicine, Power and the Politics of Health", a particular examination of sexual politics in the area of health law. Volume Two focuses on the wider equality issues of economics and power in "Part III — The Economic Politics of 'A Woman's Place'" and "Part IV — Power and the Woman". The cover of each volume bears the image of a diver, an athlete of visible strength captured in mid-flight. Behind her, there is a faint horizon that marks the division between air and water, the diver's twin media. The image is ideal for the work presented in this collection, work reflecting Scutt's strong presence in both oral and written media, facilitating both public and private dissemination of legal scholarship. * Lecturer in Law, Victoria University of Wellington. 898 (2000) 31 VUWLR The cover image also resonates on a personal level, bringing to mind my childhood swimming lessons.

VIOLENCE AGAINST ABORIGINAL WOMEN IN AUSTRALIA: POSSIBILITIES FOR REDRESS WITHIN THE INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS FRAMEWORK Penelope Andrews* It was a cold winter night in 1989 in a Central Australian Aboriginal community. Although late, muted sounds of fighting could still be heard coming from the camps. Sudden- ly the screams of a woman rent the air as she ran towards the nurses' quarters and hammered desperately on the locked gate. Blood poured down her face and her left arm hung limp and broken. In close pursuit was a man brandishing a star picket. As the nurse struggled to open the gate to admit the woman, at the same time excluding her attacker, she noticed the woman's T-shirt. Emblazoned across the front was the statement: 'We have survived 40,000 years.' Yes, but will they survive the next 40, she wondered.' For Australia's indigenous population there is a desperate struggle for survival; cultural, physical, and economic.

  • Authentic Leaders: Women and Leadership in Australian Unions Before World War II
    Authentic leaders: women and leadership in Australian unions before World War II Author: Frances, Raelene Article Type: Essay Geographic Code: 8AUST Date: May 1, 2013 Words: 11244 Publication: Labour History: A Journal of Labour and Social History ISSN: 0023-6942 The question of leadership in the union movement is not something that has greatly concerned labour historians, industrial relations specialists or leadership theorists. As Harry Knowles notes, apart from the few biographies of prominent individuals, there have been few studies of union leaders. (1) Studies of female union leaders are even more rare. (2) Knowles's 2007 article in the journal Leadership is a recent indication of new interest in this area. His article draws on a wide array of leadership theory to analyse five biographies of Australian Workers Union leaders. In so doing, he successfully demonstrates the value of this collective biographical approach in historicising the study of leadership: he shows how "leadership and the organisation's environment inter-connect to shape the way unions develop over time." (3) This article builds on Knowles's methodological approach to explore the issue of women as union leaders in Australia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By examining the lives of over 30 female union leaders from a range of unions and from across Australia, I hope to chart the parameters of this collective biography in terms of questions about leadership. My questions differ to those asked by Knowles, in large part because the gender of my subjects necessitates different questions. I am interested in why some women aspired to and assumed leadership roles at a time when it was unusual for women to take on such public roles and at a time when trade unions were so strongly a masculine domain.

  • Gyn/Ecology the Metaethics of Radical Feminism
    GYN/ECOLOGY THE METAETHICS OF RADICAL FEMINISM MARY DALY Beacon Press : Boston : 1978 N.B. Transcript omits footnotes and citations. PREFACE This book voyages beyond Beyond God the Father. It is not that I basically disagree with the ideas expressed there. I am still its author, and thus the situation is not comparable to that of The Church and the Second Sex, whose (1968) author I regard as a reformist foresister, and whose work I respectfully refute in the New Feminist Postchristian Introduction to the 1975 edition. Going beyond Beyond God the Father involves two things. First, there is the fact that be-ing continues. Be-ing at home on the road means continuing to Journey. This book continues to Spin on, in other directions/dimensions. It focuses beyond christianity in Other ways. Second, there is some old semantic baggage to be discarded so that Journeyers will be unencumbered by malfunctioning (male-functioning) equipment. There are some words which appeared to be adequate in the early seventies, which feminists later discovered to be false words. Three such words in BGTF which I cannot use again are God, androgyny, and homosexuality. There is no way to remove male/masculine imagery from God. Thus, when writing/speaking “anthropomorphically” of ultimate reality, of the divine spark of be-ing, I now choose to write/speak gynomorphically. I do so because God represents the necrophilia of patriarchy, whereas Goddess affirms the life-loving be-ing of women and nature. The second semantic abomination, androgyny, is a confusing term which I sometimes used in attempting to describe integrity of be-ing.

    Feminism in Flux Indigenous Rights Activism and the Evolution of Feminism in New South Wales 1930-1960 Lara Hall A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of BA (Hons) in History University of Sydney October 2006 Acknowledgements A few quick acknowledgements are definitely needed as throughout the past year I have relied so much upon the support of others, and am so lucky to have had such a strong network. Firstly I want to express my appreciation to Richard White and Michael McDonnell for broadening my outlook and reading some very poorly edited work to give me constructive criticism to help with the end product, and to my supervisor Kirsten McKenzie, for the continued advice and encouragement. ‘Race Relations and Australian Frontiers’ was the first subject in Australian history that I took and it sparked a deep interest which led me to this thesis, and for that I am so grateful. A huge thank you to Jackie Crisp for putting on your academic hat for me and providing me with so much guidance to bring my thesis together and learn how to write short(er) paragraphs! The best outcome of this year has been in the friendships formed with an amazing group of women; through many cups of coffee, a constant stream of emails and shared crises your support has been invaluable. To Eirini, Lou, Felicity, Bec, Jules and Marina thank you for sharing this with me. We finally made it and will see the sun and change clothes more frequently! My biggest debt of gratitude is to my parents for their boundless love and support, and for always encouraging me to follow my interests.
