However, I would like to preface it with a tribute to my Canberra education. I first came here twenty-nine years ago disillusioned with the subject that I had taught for twenty years. I knew quite a lot about Britain and quite a lot about the United States, but the two systems were so deeply different that I could never make comparisons work; neither system seemed to throw light on the other.

  • Authentic Leaders: Women and Leadership in Australian Unions Before World War II
    Authentic leaders: women and leadership in Australian unions before World War II Author: Frances, Raelene Article Type: Essay Geographic Code: 8AUST Date: May 1, 2013 Words: 11244 Publication: Labour History: A Journal of Labour and Social History ISSN: 0023-6942 The question of leadership in the union movement is not something that has greatly concerned labour historians, industrial relations specialists or leadership theorists. As Harry Knowles notes, apart from the few biographies of prominent individuals, there have been few studies of union leaders. (1) Studies of female union leaders are even more rare. (2) Knowles's 2007 article in the journal Leadership is a recent indication of new interest in this area. His article draws on a wide array of leadership theory to analyse five biographies of Australian Workers Union leaders. In so doing, he successfully demonstrates the value of this collective biographical approach in historicising the study of leadership: he shows how "leadership and the organisation's environment inter-connect to shape the way unions develop over time." (3) This article builds on Knowles's methodological approach to explore the issue of women as union leaders in Australia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By examining the lives of over 30 female union leaders from a range of unions and from across Australia, I hope to chart the parameters of this collective biography in terms of questions about leadership. My questions differ to those asked by Knowles, in large part because the gender of my subjects necessitates different questions. I am interested in why some women aspired to and assumed leadership roles at a time when it was unusual for women to take on such public roles and at a time when trade unions were so strongly a masculine domain.

  • Gyn/Ecology the Metaethics of Radical Feminism
    GYN/ECOLOGY THE METAETHICS OF RADICAL FEMINISM MARY DALY Beacon Press : Boston : 1978 N.B. Transcript omits footnotes and citations. PREFACE This book voyages beyond Beyond God the Father. It is not that I basically disagree with the ideas expressed there. I am still its author, and thus the situation is not comparable to that of The Church and the Second Sex, whose (1968) author I regard as a reformist foresister, and whose work I respectfully refute in the New Feminist Postchristian Introduction to the 1975 edition. Going beyond Beyond God the Father involves two things. First, there is the fact that be-ing continues. Be-ing at home on the road means continuing to Journey. This book continues to Spin on, in other directions/dimensions. It focuses beyond christianity in Other ways. Second, there is some old semantic baggage to be discarded so that Journeyers will be unencumbered by malfunctioning (male-functioning) equipment. There are some words which appeared to be adequate in the early seventies, which feminists later discovered to be false words. Three such words in BGTF which I cannot use again are God, androgyny, and homosexuality. There is no way to remove male/masculine imagery from God. Thus, when writing/speaking “anthropomorphically” of ultimate reality, of the divine spark of be-ing, I now choose to write/speak gynomorphically. I do so because God represents the necrophilia of patriarchy, whereas Goddess affirms the life-loving be-ing of women and nature. The second semantic abomination, androgyny, is a confusing term which I sometimes used in attempting to describe integrity of be-ing.

  • Feminism in Flux Indigenous Rights Activism and the Evolution of Feminism in New South Wales 1930-1960
    Feminism in Flux Indigenous Rights Activism and the Evolution of Feminism in New South Wales 1930-1960 Lara Hall A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of BA (Hons) in History University of Sydney October 2006 Acknowledgements A few quick acknowledgements are definitely needed as throughout the past year I have relied so much upon the support of others, and am so lucky to have had such a strong network. Firstly I want to express my appreciation to Richard White and Michael McDonnell for broadening my outlook and reading some very poorly edited work to give me constructive criticism to help with the end product, and to my supervisor Kirsten McKenzie, for the continued advice and encouragement. ‘Race Relations and Australian Frontiers’ was the first subject in Australian history that I took and it sparked a deep interest which led me to this thesis, and for that I am so grateful. A huge thank you to Jackie Crisp for putting on your academic hat for me and providing me with so much guidance to bring my thesis together and learn how to write short(er) paragraphs! The best outcome of this year has been in the friendships formed with an amazing group of women; through many cups of coffee, a constant stream of emails and shared crises your support has been invaluable. To Eirini, Lou, Felicity, Bec, Jules and Marina thank you for sharing this with me. We finally made it and will see the sun and change clothes more frequently! My biggest debt of gratitude is to my parents for their boundless love and support, and for always encouraging me to follow my interests.

  • Defining Labor: a Study of the Political Culture of the Victorian Labor Party, 1901-1921
    Defining Labor: a study of the political culture of the Victorian Labor Party, 1901-1921. Liam Byrne Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2016 Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne i Abstract Between 1901 and 1921 Victorian Labor played a crucial role in two episodes that defined the character of the Australian Labor Party. The first of these was the defeat of conscription, and subsequent party split, in 1916. The second was the acceptance by Labor of the socialisation objective in 1921. This thesis seeks to comprehend the dynamics that led to this contribution through analysis of its internal party life; Labor’s political culture. It does so by developing a unique analytical model to comprehend the party’s political culture that, it suggests, can be applied to similar parties of social-democracy/political labour elsewhere. This model is based upon important critiques of the concept of the bourgeois public sphere, and seeks to repudiate the essentialism dominant in many accounts of Labor. It identifies a series of creative processes within the party and broader labour movement of both an ideological and structural nature, utilising the historical developments of this era to demonstrate their operations. In particular, it argues that political labour was defined by a creative contestation between different sections competing for its political leadership: moderates and socialists. This was a contestation conducted by intellectuals of the movement. Through a detailed reading of the texts of party life, and a focus on its centres of power in major party conferences, it has identified James Scullin and John Curtin, both later Labor Prime Ministers, as representative intellectuals engaged in this creative contest.

  • Women and Life on Earth: Peace, Ecology and a Transnational Women’S Movement, 1975-2006
    Women and Life on Earth: Peace, Ecology and a Transnational Women’s Movement, 1975-2006 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences By Alyssa S. McClanahan March 2016 M.A., University of Cincinnati, 2012 B.A., University of Cincinnati, 2010 Committee Chair: David Stradling, Ph.D. Abstract “Women and Life on Earth” traces a powerful yet ultimately unsustainable women’s movement born in the late 1970s and early 1980s out of feminist, ecological and disarmament concerns. Focused primarily on American and British women, this dissertation begins with an influential conference in March of 1980 in Northampton, Massachusetts. There, hundreds of women gathered to claim "that ecological right"—the idea that their movement could unite all women behind values of feminism, nonviolence and ecology. In exploring women’s organizations and direct actions, especially transnational ones, this dissertation tracks how this women's movement weathered the 1980s, and interrogates the states of feminism, environmentalism, protest strategy and politics in America and Britain in the late 20th century. It broadly argues that by appropriating ecology as a way to link a litany of women and numerous injustices rooted in violence, participants began to consolidate a movement that was uniquely for and by women. Yet, as genuinely inclusive as these women crafted their philosophy to be, their ideas did not map evenly onto the political movement itself, and in many ways prescribed their own stymied future.
