WESNET Report 2005 WESNET Women’s Refuges, Shelters, Outreach and Support Services in Australia From Sydney Squat to complex Services Challenging Domestic and Family Violence 2004 Written by : Wendy Weeks Julie Oberin Commonwealth of Australia 2004 ISBN 1 877042 560 The work is copyright.

Typesetting by: Kandream Digital Studios Dedication I Vale Wendy Weeks Associate Professor, Department of Social Work, The University of Melbourne, Victoria, and researcher and co-author for this research. Wendy passed away suddenly on 31st July 2004, shortly after completing the writing of this report. The news of Wendy’s death was sadly received by thousands across Australia and internationally. Wendy will be remembered for her wonderful work, especially around women’s studies, social policy and practice, social work theory and practice, women’s research, women’s services, the women’s refuge movement, issues around maternity leave and Indigenous issues. Many of us learned much from Wendy’s publications and long history of teaching. For many months Wendy was a constant figure in the lives of the WESNET women involved in this research. She participated in consultations around the States and Territories meeting with many women and workers as part of this vital research. She attended numerous conferences and visited services. Wendy also played a large role in the lives of workers in services assisting women who are affected by domestic/family violence and sexual assault. Wendy was well known for speaking out about these issues and her research, analysis and writing has helped us in many ways with the thinking and analysis needed for us to respond in better ways to the women we support. Her book Women Working with Women, was an important contribution, enabling workers to gain knowledge about what was happening around the country, and helping workers to have a sense of being part of a defined ‘grass-roots’ movement at a particular moment in time. Word of her sudden death, coming at a time when she was still so actively contributing to the knowledge and development of the violence against women sector, has left us with a great feeling of loss and sadness. Our hearts go out to those most affected by her death and we know that we were privileged to have had her in our lives. We miss her outspokenness, her continual contribution and dedication to the feminist project, her humour, and her kindness. The WESNET National Committee dedicates this research to Wendy.

  • © Copyright 2012 Lindsay Rose Russell
    © Copyright 2012 Lindsay Rose Russell WOMEN IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE DICTIONARY Lindsay Rose Russell a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Anis Bawarshi, Co-Chair Colette Moore, Co-Chair Candice Rai Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of English University of Washington Abstract Women in the English Language Dictionary Lindsay Rose Russell Chairs of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Anis Bawarshi and Associate Professor Colette Moore Department of English “Women in the English Language Dictionary,” is at once a historical account and rhetorical analysis of how women have been involved in the English dictionary from its bilingual beginnings in the early modern period to its present-day array of instantiations. Departing from well-worn accounts of the English dictionary as a series of more-or-less discrete texts created by more-or-less famous men to constitute a near-neutral record of the entire language, “Women in the English Language Dictionary” conceives, instead, of the English language dictionary as a rhetorical genre, the form, content, audience, exigence, and cultural consequences of which are gendered and gendering. As a focused analysis of the emergence and evolution of a genre, “Women in the English Language Dictionary” finds that women—as an abstract construction and as a social collectivity—were integral for the framing of early dictionaries’ exigencies and for the fashioning of audiences invoked by the genre. Women signal major shifts in the genre’s purposes and participants, shifts heretofore neglected in favor of generic phases delimited by changes in form and content.

    INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCE OF WOMEN ALLIANCE INTERNATIONALE DES FEMMES Equal Rights - Equal Responsibilities Droits Égaux - Responsibilités Égales IAW NEWSLETTER - February 2001, nr. 1 Dear IAW members, Equal Rights We urgently request that you give your attention to the Commission on the Status of Women, which will meet to discuss one of the most serious health problems of the 21st century, HIV/AIDS. It’ s a topic that has to be discussed at the next World Conference on Women. And at CSW, it is the time to seek more effective means and ways to improve the gender mainstreaming in the implementation of all major world conferences. One of the first acts of brand new USA president Bush was to deny US aid to pro-choice groups. Read the comments of IAW president, Patricia Giles, in our chapter AROUND THE WORLD. IAW held a wonderful workshop in Nicosia, Cyprus on Violence against Women; just read the resolution. And please read what is happening in France at the moment, for women in politics! UNITED NATIONS The 45th session of CSW will be held 6-16 March 2001. At its 45th session the Commission will focus on the following thematic issues: 1.Women, the girl child and human immune-deficiency virus/acquired immune-deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). 2.Gender and all forms of discrimination, in particular racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. The Commission will also adopt its new multi-year work programme for the period 2002-2005 (see also the article: A Fifth World Conference on Women in 2005). Two expert meetings have been held in preparation for the 45th session: - Expert Group Meeting on the HIV/AIDS Pandemic and its Gender Implications, 13 -17 November 2000; - Expert Group Meeting on gender and racial discrimination, 21 to 24 November 2000, Zagreb, Croatia.
