  • Title of Project a Social and Cultural Investigation Of
    Title of project A social and cultural investigation of women in the wine industry of South Australia Project Number TOL 01/01 Julie Holbrook Tolley Submitted December 2004 Abstract Women have made a significant contribution to wine production in South Australia, and their important role has been neglected by much of the community, including the media. Gradually their achievements are being recognised. In my research, interviews and a textual analysis of primary sources provided extensive and continuing evidence of women’s contribution in the wine industry from colonial days in the Barossa Valley to recent times on Kangaroo Island. Documentary evidence and the interviews indicate that women have been expected to work in various tasks outside the home, as well as managing the house and rearing children. The interviews I conducted with 25 women in the Barossa Valley, the Riverland and Kangaroo Island, over a wide range of occupations in the wine industry, indicate that they combined their work in the vineyards and wineries with their household tasks. The rural woman’s domain included the home paddock, the equivalent of the suburban backyard. Because of economic necessity the home paddock was extended to include seasonal work in the vineyard. Within families there was a variety of tasks carried out by all members, including children. Women such as Ann Jacob from the Barossa Valley took an essential part in establishing the wine industry. In the Riverland, women worked in Village Settlements in the late 1890s, and during World War I and World War II, they established vineyards as part of the Returned Soldiers Settlement Schemes.

Newspapers mark centenaries (and, more recently, sesqui-centenaries) with celebrations and speeches, and sometimes even get their date of establishment correct. The first newspaper-history article I wrote, 41 years ago, was about a newspaper that got its date of birth wrong and celebrated its centenary on the wrong date.
