71704Very good. A collection of reports campaign literature newsletters and other literature produced in the early 1970s as part of the Women's Liberation Movement in Australia. Among the organizations represented are the Women's Electoral Lobby the Women's Liberation Center the Working Women's Group and the Women's Abortion Action Campaign. Suzanne Fairbanks senior archivist at The University of Melbourne Archives summarized this period: "In the midst of the social activism that characterized the late 1960s the women's movement in Australia regained the public visibility it had first achieved at the beginning of the 20th century. The energy of women's renewed campaigns was directed into strategies of which two stand out: work for equal civil rights through the courts and government; and actions for personal and social liberation through consciousness-raising direct activism and alternative arenas for self-expression. The fight for civil equality had a long tradition in the Australian women's movement but women were becoming frustrated. Following campaigns by unions and women in the post-war period in 1969 the Arbitration Commission awarded equal pay for women but only for strictly equal work. The commission's decision would have no impact on women who worked in predominantly 'female' jobs. Taking their lead from the early suffragists Zelda D'Aprano trade unionist and communist and teachers Thelma Solomon and Alva Geikie chained themselves to the door of the Arbitration Commission in a very public protest which attracted wide media attention. The success of direct protest action in gathering publicity and support led to these women's forming with Jessie 'Bon' Hull the Women's Action Committee WAC which engaged in further public protest such as insisting on paying only 75 per cent of the fare on trams as they received 75 per cent of a male wage. Most importantly in March 1972 WAC founded the Women's Liberation Centre in Melbourne to provide a meeting place and support centre for feminists. By 1972 women led by Beatrice Faust a University of Melbourne graduate and civil liberties campaigner established the Women's Electoral Lobby WEL which produced a form guide to all candidates in the December 1972 federal election. The results of WEL's Australia-wide survey of candidates' attitudes to child care equality in education and work and planned parenthood were published in newspapers in November 1972. In Victoria WEL targeted sitting members of parliament in marginal seats on polling day. When Gough Whitlam led the Australian Labor Party to victory women's issues were firmly to the fore. In Melbourne the Women's Liberation Movement WLM was closely connected to trade unions and the workers' movement. By the early 1970s a Women's Liberation Group had become affiliated with the Student Union at the University of Melbourne. Just as universities provided a haven for anti-war and radical ideas they proved favourable for the ideas and activism of the women's movement. Indeed the women's movement grew when women active in trade unions the Communist Party anti-conscription and anti-war movements perceived that the talk of a new society mostly included the old sexism. At the University of Melbourne the University Assembly formed a Women's Working Group which first reported on the status of women at the university in 1975; this report was instrumental in forcing the university to adopt equal opportunity policies." This collection consists of 28 pieces including one duplicate along with five pages of holographic notes and a newspaper clipping. Among the highlights are: EQUAL PAY VERDICT an undated leaflet 5 1/4" x 8 1/8" issued by the Union of Australian Women in Melbourne criticizing the 1969 decision of the Arbitration Commission "For some women the judgement will result in true equal pay but probably one woman in five will miss out."; SISTERHOOD IS POWERFUL No. 3 1972 mimeographed on both sides of a legal-size leaf this newsletter features a lengthy piece entitled "Women and the Environmental Crisis" "Since both the liberation of women and the rescue of the environment are essentially freedom-oriented pro-life movements they are inevitably inter-related."; WOMEN'S LIBERATION NEWSLETTER: March 1973 14 p. photomechanically reproduced on both sides of seven yellow legal-size leaves includes a report by co-editor Ky Barrett on the February general meeting a list of contacts the Manifesto of the Women's Liberation Movement event announcements etc.; JOIN HANDS. No. 2 - June 1973 an early publication of the Communist Party of Australia which was founded in 1971 this journal includes several pieces on the Women's Liberation Movement including "Towards a Science of Women's Liberation" by Isabel Larguia and John Dumoulin and "Historical Origins of Female Oppression" by Nola Cooper; SHOULD W.E.L. SUPPORT A MOTHER'S WAGE a nuanced discussion by feminist writer Elizabeth Windschuttle of the merits and shortcomings of the Department of Social Security's mother's wage proposal 1973 12 p. photomechanically reproduced on the recto of legal-size sheets of white paper and bound with a staple; and WOMEN'S INFORMATION SHEET circa 1973 includes the name and contact information for university action areas feminist organizations contraceptive services and child care as well as a feminist reading list produced by the Victorian Women's Liberation on two sheets of yellow legal-size paper and accompanied by another sheet listing the 45 Women's Liberation groups with contact information.

8vo. 4 pages, plus a folding colour map which measures 11.5 inches x 8 inches and shows details of Winnecke's survey work in Central Australia from August to December 1883. This is a complete issue of the Royal Geographical Society, published October 1884, in excellent condition, containing the above narrative, and historically valuable map. Item is in original condition, with blue wrappers, as issued, complete with all the ads. A succinct and informative account accompanies the map, revealing that this territory, near the western Queensland boundary, was previously unknown, indicated only as a vast blank space on maps. Winnecke quickly found the task of exploring and surveying the region was most onerous, yet persevered to success - the map here being the first of the area. The text makes specific reference to notes in Winnecke's diary, in one instance being forced to dig a deep well, due to the extreme scarcity of water for the camels. As well as charting the land, Winnecke names peaks, collects plenty of flora, and observes fauna. Still in the midst of exploring while this account was published, Surveyor-General G. W. Goyder of the Australia colony submits the paper for dispatching, thus published here.
