Behind every man … the unheralded female origins of Australasian department stores
Across New Zealand and Australia department stores have become household names. While women dominate customer numbers, and feature on the shop floor, management and ownership have, until recently, been almost entirely male. Before the mergers and acquisitions, before the creation of company boards, however, the founders of many of those stores were women. This article introduces several early female entrepreneurs and considers both their sidelini…

Bringing Businesswomen to a Count: A Transnational Methodological Experiment Researching Nineteenth-Century Businesswomen
This article is part of an innovative experiment to explore the influence of methodologies on the drawing of historical conclusions. Two historians researching nineteenth-century businesswomen in different places compared results. One found a preponderance of widows in business in late nineteenth-century Leeds, estimating 10 per cent of businesses were run by women. The other estimated 15–20 per cent of businesses in Sydney were run by women in t…

Better business women for a better business world' in Australia and beyond: The 'world minded' women of the International Federation of Business and Professional Women
The International Federation of Business and Professional Women (I.F.B.P.W.) was founded in 1930 by Lena Madesin Phillips. She argued that ‘no form of equality could endure, or prove effective once achieved, unless it had a sound economic base’. I.F.B.P.W. aimed to improve themselves—to become ‘better business women’, and to improve the world of business more generally. Despite scholarly interest in interwar international women’s activities, the …

The Serendipity of Connectivity: Piecing Together Women's Lives in the Digital Archive
The digitisation of archives has enabled the public lives of very ordinary women in the past to become much more accessible to the historian. But some have argued that the wonders of searchable Internet databases have taken the serendipity out of historical research, with our understanding of the context and richness of the past the poorer for the ease with which we can now zoom into what we set out to find. This article uses the author's researc…
When Your Money Is Not Your Own: Coverture and Married Women In Business in Colonial New South Wales
In 1860 and again in 1864, Alexander Spiers appeared before the insolvency court in Sydney, endeavoring to explain his failure in business. He was described as a milliner in the records but he had never made a bonnet in his life. The real milliner and businesswoman was his wife, Ann Spiers, who had been running her business since her marriage in 1846. She made purchasing and pricing decisions, managed staff, was the front person in the shop, and …
Women on the Move Gender, Money-Making and Mobility in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Australasia
Both onward mobility and money-making in the middle of the nineteenth century have typically been regarded as male prerogatives. Transnational mobility has been the subject of much recent scholarship, but the focus has been primarily on elite travellers, ‘imperial careers’ and the movement of ideas around the webs of empire. Scholars have acknowledged that women emigrated, but as domestic servants, governesses or wives. Particularly once married …

German (Re)Unification: Habermas and his critics1
This article analyses the writings of a prominent German social and political theorist ‐ Jürgen Habermas ‐ on the process of (reunification in Germany and examines responses to his interventions by right‐wing thinkers opposed to his views. (Re)unification is a setting of rapidly developing and changing events which present a challenge to Habermas’ thinking. Put simply, Habermas is highly critical of the ‘rush towards (re)unification’ and the proc…
