Afterwards, the thesis looks at the position of women in society particularly in the area of Great Britain and includes criteria in several scopes of activities of women which give an idea of women’s life in this time. Research examining the current gender problems, situation of women, their attitude towards the feminist movement and women’s emancipation is based on a questionnaire proposed only to British respondents.

  • The Politics of Passion
    Feminism and the Generational Divide Feminism and the Generational Divide: An exploration of some of the debates Penelope Robinson University of Newcastle, Australia Abstract: In recent times, a generational divide has emerged within feminism with discussion often centred on the differences between Baby Boomer feminists and younger women, regularly referred to as Generation X. This paper seeks to understand the intergenerational tensions by exploring the debates as they are played out in a number of popular texts. Karl Mannheim’s theory of generation is mobilised in order to deepen our understanding of generations. His work has the potential to broaden the feminist generational debates beyond the well-worn stereotypes and offer new ways of thinking about generational discourse. Paper: What disturbs me most is the prospect of a generation gap emerging in our agenda. – Anne Summers, Letter to the Next Generation We sat at the table howling with laughter. ‘It’s a dialogue between generations,’ said Angela Z-, wiping away the tears. ‘It’s not a dialogue,’ I said, blowing my nose. ‘It’s a fucking war’. – Helen Garner, The First Stone Over the last decade, feminist discussion in Australia has often erupted into a generational battle, with Baby Boomers and Generation X engaging in a fierce debate, fraught with finger pointing, misunderstanding and stereotypes. The rift within feminism began to emerge in the mid-90s when well-known feminists lamented the direction young women were taking the women’s movement. Anne Summers (1993) conveyed her disappointment that the feminist struggles fought by her generation were not being carried into the future by young women, while Helen Garner (1995) in her book The First Stone,expressed her dismay towards two university students who filed sexual harassment complaints against their College Master with the police.

  • The Australian Woman Movement, 1880–1914: Sexuality, Marriage and Consent
    The Australian woman movement, 1880–1914: Sexuality, marriage and consent REBECCA PRESTON Abstract The Australian woman movement (1880–1914) played a central role in shaping contemporary sexual discourse and contributing to the eventual recognition of female sexual pleasure in Australia. While most historiography has focused on the more well-known suffrage campaigns, this essay explores feminist attempts to enhance women’s sexual autonomy through reforming existing sexual relations, particularly in marriage, and contesting contemporary medical discourse which defined male sexuality as ‘hydraulic’, namely automatically aroused, and female sexuality as ‘hysterical’. The early Australian feminists publicly challenged Victorian constructions of sexuality and sought to redefine male–female sexual relations by abolishing the double standard of sexual morality. Studying the woman movement through the lens of sexuality is important, as issues of sexuality were inextricably linked to more well- known political and economic campaigns for suffrage, citizenship and equal pay. Feminist campaigns to reform sexuality in both the public and private spheres were also central to broader political debates concerning the health and future of Australia’s population, and the declining birth and marriage rate. A study of feminist campaigns to reform domestic sexual relations, primarily through enhancing women’s autonomy in the marital bedroom, and campaigns to improve public sexual relations through regulating prostitution, raising the age of consent and reducing the occurrence of venereal disease through education, reveals the complex interactions between various sectors of colonial society, including feminist organisations, the medical profession, the Australian government, the military and religious groups. As such, this study provides a more nuanced understanding of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Australian political and social life.

  • Noel Butlin Lecture
    Archives Lecture 13 September 2012 Feminism for the 21st Century Marian Sawer Let me acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we meet and pay my respects to their elders past and present. May I also thank Maggie Shapley, the ANU Archives and the Friends of the Noel Butlin Archives Centre for the honour of presenting the 11th of the annual Archives Lectures. In my lecture I shall be traversing some of the ways in which feminism has been represented in the media over the past century or so. This will include observation of how the media framing of feminism has influenced attitudes, including the attitudes of women’s movement activists themselves. I shall point to the much truer picture of feminist activity that can be extracted from government and non-government archives. I shall finish by looking at the opportunities provided by social media to sustain feminist perspectives and to provide a response to the bad press feminism has so often received. To start with the media framing of feminism. From the beginning, women engaged in the struggle for the vote were depicted as unattractive to men. This has proved a hardy evergreen ever since, even if the unattractive characteristics attributed to feminists have varied over time. During the campaign for the vote, male cartoonists regularly depicted women activists as scrawny, beaky-nosed, short sighted and armed with umbrellas for attacking men. This was a cliché 2 of cartooning in the English-speaking world in the period between the 1890s and 1914. [Hop cartoon Shrieking sisterhood about here] While male cartoonists and poster artists depicted women who wanted the vote as vinegary and unattractive, they presented women who were not interested in equality as rounded and buxom.

  • “The Colour of Your Moustache” Or Have Feminists Always Been Humourless?1

And she’s not deadly. She’s beautiful and she’s laughing. (Cixous 255) For many, the feminists of the “Woman Movement” of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries appeared as deadly as a Gorgon. They were “ladies” in hats said Germaine Greer, dismissively (13). “God’s Police” affirmed Anne Summers (301–2, 362). Sexually repressive, decided R. W. Connell and T. H. Irving (203– 204). “Old” declared Nancy Cott, asserting the difference of the women of the nineteenth-century Woman Movement from a “new” twentieth-century feminism (15). The women of suffrage-era feminism in Australia, Britain and the United States of America have, almost uniformly, been depicted as fearsomely respectable, socially puritanical, politically limited, sexually repressed, and crushingly earnest. It is an image in urgent need of revision. I endeavoured to do this in relation to suffrage-era feminists and sex in Australia in Passions of the First Wave Feminists (2001). I argued there that it was the sexual double-standard that those women objected to. Not sex itself. Indeed, rather than being opposed to sex, they were centrally preoccupied with sex, and with the pleasures as well as the dangers of heterosexual union. In this article, I want to revise a different dimension of the popular image of these women, the image of the feminist of the suffrage era—as of the 1970s–1990s—as humourless.
