Australian Women: Feminist PerspectivesNorma Grieve, Patricia Grimshaw "Australian Women: Feminist Perspectives" explores the position of women in Australian society from a broad range of perspectives: anthropology, sociology, education, history, psychology, biology and the arts. the stance of the writers is a feminist one, conceived in the widest sense of an appreciation of women's continuing inferior status and an advocacy of their cause, but explored through a variety of styles and commitments. The book begins with different answers to the debate on "how it all began" and proceeds to explore women's roles and experiences in traditional and urban Aboriginal settings, in convict, colonial and present times and as poets and novelists. It concludes with a consideration of feminist ideologies and prescriptions for change"--from back cover. |
