About Us 3 FEATURED TITLES > EVERYDAY REVOLUTIONS: REMAKING GENDER, SEXUALITY AND CULTURE IN 1970s AUSTRALIA Edited by Michelle Arrow and Angela Woollacott It is a diverse and rich collection of essays that reminds us that women’s and gay liberation were revolutionary movements. The 1970s was a time of seismic change in Australian politics, sparking far-reaching cultural and social transformation. It was a decade of revolutions where feminists sought to challenge long-held ideas about gender and sexuality. During this time, the contraceptive pill was made widely available, sexuality was both celebrated and flaunted, and campaigns to decriminalise abortion and homosexuality emerged across the country. Everyday Revolutions: Remaking Gender, Sexuality and Culture in 1970s Australia, edited by Michelle Arrow and Angela Woollacott, explores the repercussions of this decade that revolutionised the lives of Australian men and women. The volume contains a diverse and rich collection of essays, including the rise of women’s liberation and gay and lesbian movements. These repercussions have extended to the 21st century where gender and sexuality continue to be topics of wide debate. Feminists continue to challenge ‘man-made’ norms and recover lost histories of female achievement and cultural endeavour. 336 pp | 234x153 mm This book is a welcome reorientation of contemporary ISSN 9781760462963 (Print) $55.00 Australian historical scholarship, and tells an important ISSN 9781760462970 (Online) story about the 1970s. It features rich imagery and documentation of the movement, such as feminist artworks and posters created by feminist presses. The book focuses on both the activist and legislative achievements of these movements and their profound social and cultural impacts. Featured Titles 5 ROSALIE GASCOIGNE: A CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ Martin Gascoigne … a detailed, brilliantly researched account that documents the artist’s biography … Possibly the most important achievement of this publication is the catalogue raisonné of the artist’s work. Sasha Grishin, The Canberra Times, 2019 Rosalie Gascoigne (1917–1999) is one of Australia’s most highly regarded artists whose assemblages of found materials embraced landscape, still life, minimalism, arte povera and installations.

It was not until she was in her 50s that Rosalie began practising as a full-time artist and, in the 1960s, she began learning ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging. Here she found justification for her fascination with assembling and arranging materials. Rosalie’s first solo exhibition was held in 1974 at Macquarie Galleries in Canberra and marked the start of her 25-year exhibiting career where her works were appreciated by people of all ages, interests and backgrounds. After 20 years of compilation, all 692 known finished artworks of Gascoigne have been assembled into a catalogue raisonné. Author and artist’s son Martin Gascoigne has added further primary sources including a biographical note, an essay on Rosalie’s engagement with the country around Canberra, family letters and interviews, media reviews, exhibition histories, and details of materials used in each artwork.
