  • Beauty Becomes Political: Beginnings of the Women's Liberation Movement in Australia

    Susan MagareyARTICLEAustralian Feminist Studies2018Cited by: 1References: 1

    A foundational statement of the campaigns of the Women’s Liberation Movement of the 1970s–1990s is ‘The Personal is Political’. This article explores ways in which that statement was demonstrated at the beginnings of the Women’s Liberation Movement in protests against requirements that women be, or aspire to be, beautiful. It provides accounts of three major protests against beauty contests in 1970: one in the United States, one in Australia and …

  • Women's Liberation was a Movement, Not an Organisation

    Susan MagareyARTICLEAustralian Feminist Studies2014Cited by: 2References: 4

    This article argues that understanding any relationship between the Women’s Liberation Movement and the state depends upon a recognition of the variety and change through time encompassed by each. It considers, first, some of the key concerns of the Women’s Liberation Movement in the years of its initial eruption, then three instances when individual participants in the Women’s Liberation Movement engaged with government, and concludes, finally, …

    Open AccessSusan Magarey, Susan MargareyBOOKUnbridling the Tongues of Women2010Cited by: 16References: 3

    Catherine Helen Spence was a charismatic public speaker in the late nineteenth century, a time when women were supposed to speak only at their own firesides.

  • What is Happening to Women's History in Australia at the Beginning of the Third Millennium

    Susan MagareyARTICLEWomen s History Review2007Cited by: 3

    In 2003 Australian feminist historian Jill Matthews declared that what feminist historians should do now is ‘acknowledge our successes graciously and turn our hands to other things’. Her recommendation was not received with enthusiasm, but her audience did publish it. What was going on? This article sets out to answer that question by tracing four strands in the story of women’s history in Australia during the past three decades

  • History, cultural studies, and another look at first‐wave feminism in Australia∗

    Susan MagareyARTICLEAustralian Historical Studies1996Cited by: 6References: 9

    Another look at first-wave feminism, one that considers cultural productions as well as the materials usually accepted by historians as 'sources', offers a new, revisionist, account of the 'Woman Movement', focused less on motherhood and/or work than on (hetero)sex. This account also suggests that Australian feminism was not only born modern but was a force for modernism, at least two decades sooner than anywhere else
