  • 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.

  • Sydney Is Singularly Fortunate in That, Unlike Other Australian Cities, Its Newspaper History Has Been Well Documented
    Two hundred years of Sydney newspapers: A SHORT HISTORY By Victor Isaacs and Rod Kirkpatrick 1 This booklet, Two Hundreds Years of Sydney Newspapers: A Short History, has been produced to mark the bicentenary of publication of the first Australian newspaper, the Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser, on 5 March 1803 and to provide a souvenir for those attending the Australian Newspaper Press Bicentenary Symposium at the State Library of New South Wales, Sydney, on 1 March 2003. The Australian Newspaper History Group convened the symposium and records it gratitude to the following sponsors: • John Fairfax Holdings Ltd, publisher of Australia’s oldest newspaper, the Sydney Morning Herald • Paper World Pty Ltd, of Melbourne, suppliers of original newspapers from the past • RMIT University’s School of Applied Communication, Melbourne • The Printing Industries Association of Australia • The Graphic Arts Merchants Association of Australia • Rural Press Ltd, the major publisher of regional newspapers throughout Australia • The State Library of New South Wales Printed in February 2003 by Rural Press Ltd, North Richmond, New South Wales, with the assistance of the Printing Industries Association of Australia. 2 Introduction Sydney is singularly fortunate in that, unlike other Australian cities, its newspaper history has been well documented. Hence, most of this short history of Sydney’s newspapers is derived from secondary sources, not from original research. Through the comprehensive listing of relevant books at the end of this booklet, grateful acknowledgement is made to the writers, and especially to Robin Walker, Gavin Souter and Bridget Griffen-Foley whose work has been used extensively.

  • The Founding of BRESA
    Volume II Appendices I – IV Appendix I THE CASE OF BRESAGEN Parcel 1: Radionucleotides Professor Robert Symons from the Biochemistry Department at the University of Adelaide developed a technique for the efficient production of 32P-labelled radionucleotides that was published in a leading scientific journal1 in 1977. These were radioactive compounds used to label DNA and RNA, and were widely used at the time in gene technology research. At the time, production of these radionucleotides was influenced by two factors: first, being radioactive and with a short half-life of 14 days, international shipping was difficult and costly. Second, manufacture was dominated by Amersham, a UK-based company, using inefficient technology, which kept prices high. This meant that increasingly, when Professor Symons had radionucleotides that were surplus to the needs of his own Department and its Centre for Gene Technology (also established in 1982), he increasingly began providing them for free to other laboratories in Australia. By the early 1980s, Bob Symons’s head of department, Professor Bill Elliott, suggested that rather than giving the radionucleotides away, he should set up a business. However, Bob Symons did not the patent the technique; as Allan Robins, a postdoctoral researcher at the time, commented, ‘this is back in the days when we were naïve academics. Nobody patented ideas, or we didn’t anyway, Bob didn’t’ (interview, 2007). 1 Nucleic Acids Research 1 According to the Bresa Product Catalogue (1984): BRESA [Ltd] was officially set up in [31] May, 1982 to develop and prepare for sale a range of high quality materials for use in gene technology.

I am the plaintiff in this action and an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York. 2. A clarification of terms is initially needed. Plaintiff in his writings, speeches and interviews uses the term “feminist” to mean a person, usually female but not necessarily so, who believes that an accident of nature, being born female, made her superior to men in all matters under the sun. One who believes men are guilty until they prove themselves innocent, and that females are innocent until proven guilty, but even then a male is still blamed for what the female volitionally did. A second definition Plaintiff relies on is that used by “Women Against Feminism”—real-life feminism has come to mean “vilification of men, support for female privilege, and a demeaning view of women as victims rather than free agents.” (First Am. Cmplnt. Ex. A). 3. So when Plaintiff uses the term “anti-feminist,” he’s referring to the preceding definitions of feminist and feminism.
