- Description
- This study explores the meaning of class to women's liberationists' identities and activism, both nationally and regionally, using a previously neglected feminist cluster in North East England as a case study. Stevenson demonstrates that British feminism was shaped fundamentally by its relationship to class politics. Feminists recognised how post-war changes in the economy and gender roles were reshaping class and the Women's Liberation Movement attempted to remake class politics in response. However, class differences between the women involved, linked to occupation, education and background, remained intractable obstacles causing tensions within groups, fragmentations into specific class-based groups and the ultimate failure of the movement to coalesce into a coherent coalition with labour politics, despite great levels of solidarity around particular struggles.

- Description
- White settlers in the United States, who saw themselves as pioneers, were inspired by the state experiments of Australia and New Zealand that helped shape their commitment to an active state, women’s and workers’ rights. Both settler societies defined themselves as New World, against Old World feudal and aristocratic societies and Indigenous peoples deemed backward and primitive. In conversations, conferences and collaboration, transpacific networks were animated by a sense of racial kinship and investment in social justice. While “Asiatics” and “Blacks” would be excluded, Indians and Aborigines would be assimilated or absorbed. The political mobilizations of Indigenous progressives?in the Society of American Indians and the Australian Aborigines’ Progressive Association?testified to the power of Progressive thought but also to its repressive underpinnings.

- Description
- In the early twentieth century, women fought for the right to professional employment and political influence outside the home. Yet if liberation from household 'drudgery' meant employing another woman to do it, where did this leave domestic servants? Both inspired and frustrated by the growing feminist movement, servants began forming their own trade unions, demanding better conditions and rights at work. This book tells the history of how these militant maids and their mistresses joined forces in the struggle for the vote but also clashed over competing class interests.

- Description
- Iola Mathews was one of the founders of the Women’s Electoral Lobby, a journalist at The Age, and later a leading ACTU ( Australian Council of Trade Unions ) advocate for women workers during the ‘Accord’ with the Hawke-Keating Government in Australia. She was involved in the heady days of ‘second wave’ feminism, when the role of women at home and at work changed decisively. In this memoir, she takes us inside the groundwork required to bring about reforms in areas like affirmative action, equal pay, childcare, parental leave and work-family issues.
