11. Academic Women and Research Leadership in Twentieth-Century Australia
11. Academic women and research leadership in twentieth-century Australia Patricia Grimshaw1 and Rosemary Francis2 While the focus of analysis of leadership in tertiary institutions is most commonly the capacities of the most senior academic administrators, many academics at less elevated levels in the hierarchy also can exert major influence in their disciplinary areas that has significant impact nationally and internationally. This chapter offers an insight into Australian women’s leadership in the academic profession in the twentieth century through the careers of outstanding scholars who from the mid 1950s were elected fellows of the Australian learned academies. Women faced considerable barriers to employment in universities before the expansion of secondary and tertiary education in the postwar years increased their opportunities to gain academic positions and advance the cutting edges of their disciplines. Yet, starting in 1956, when the first woman was elected to a learned academy, talented women were singled out as research leaders through this peer evaluation of their importance. With the social changes in gender expectations that the women’s movement inspired and the Australian Labor Party’s affirmative action policies of the 1980s, the number of female senior scholars who reached this standing increased markedly—noticeable especially in the humanities and social sciences. First, this chapter considers the careers of the first group of academicians who were elected to the four academies from 1956 to 1976; second, it traces the election of women from the late 1970s to the end of the century, including a few scholars who became leaders of the academies themselves. The story of academic women and research leadership is overall one of progressive change, but also indicates that gender equity has yet to be attained in the academic profession or, consequently, in the learned academies. -

11 Country and Kin Calling? Keith Hancock, the National Dictionary Collaboration, and the Promotion of Life Writing in Australia1 Melanie Nolan Australian historians and ego-histoire In his international comparison of history, historians and autobiography in 2005, Jeremy D. Popkin concluded that Australian historians were early to, and enthusiastic about, the ego-histoire movement or the ‘setting down [of] one’s own story’. Australians anticipated Pierre Nora’s collection of essays, Essais d’ego-histoire, which was published in 1987.2 They had already founded ‘a series of autobiographical lectures in 1984’, which resulted in a number of publications, and Australian historians’ memoirs thereafter appeared at a rate of more than one a year.3 When he considered Australian 1 I thank Ann Curthoys and the editors for their comments on an earlier draft. 2 Pierre Nora ed., Essais d’ego-histoire (Paris: Gallimard, 1987), 7. 3 Jeremy D.

WHITE MEN’S FEARS AND WHITE WOMEN’S HOPES THE 1908 VICTORIAN ADULT SUFFRAGE ACT Patricia Grimshaw HE PASSAGE IN 908 OF THE ADULT SUFFRAGE ACT that enfranchised women for Victoria’s state elections was the culmina- Ttion of a lengthy history of settler women’s activism. This activism stretched back to the 860s, when women ratepayers, already enfranchised for municipal elections, gladly utilised a loophole in a new electoral act to vote in the colony’s 864 election. The loophole was swiftly closed but the issue simmered away until the newly formed Victorian Women’s Suffrage Society began a concerted suffrage campaign in 884. At an in- ternational level, women’s suffrage in Victoria shares Australia’s fame as a site of early enfranchisement, most commonly recognised at the national level. The Commonwealth Franchise Act of 902 conferred on women the right to vote and stand for parliament at the federal level, recognition of the existing rights of women in South Australia and Western Australia, who received the colonial vote in 894 and 899 respectively.2 Outside of Australia, only in New Zealand and four western states of the United States of America had women also been enfranchised by 902. Most women in the western world awaited the conclusion of the first or second world wars for the same rights.3 2 Victorian Historical Journal Vol. 79, No. 2, November 2008 Within the Australian context, however, a concentration on the Com- monwealth Franchise Act could obscure the further events subsequent to this Act that brought about a fuller democracy within the separate colonies and states; it could also conceal the prolonged fragile status of Indigenous voters at state and federal level.
