  • Fears of Japanese Aggression in Wool Trade 25 July 2013
    Fears of Japanese aggression in wool trade 25 July 2013 Mongolia. The program got off to a bit of a rocky start, however, with claims that some of the sheep from the first shipments of Merinos were eaten by the locals, but it carried on well into the 1940s," he said. Dr Boyd said fear of the project ebbed and flowed throughout the decade. In the first years of the 1930s, the Australian Government went so far as to impose a trade embargo on the export of Merino rams, which led the Japanese to source the animals from South Africa and the United States. Tensions lessened in the mid-1930s due to two on- the-ground investigations. A Murdoch University researcher has uncovered a "In 1934, Sydney Morning Herald journalist Frederic little known nugget of Australian history about a Morley Cutlack took part in the Latham Mission to Japanese push to challenge the nation's wool Asia and looked more closely into the program, dominance in the early 20th century. reporting that it was unlikely to succeed," Dr Boyd said. Dr James Boyd of Murdoch University's Asia Research Centre said he became curious about "A year later, Ian Clunies Ross, who would become Japanese plans to crossbreed a Merino sheep with one of the CSIRO's early directors, was sent by the a hearty Mongolian breed during the 1930s after New South Wales Graziers' Association to do an being asked about the story at a conference.

  • 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.
