Interview with Alanna Inserra
9.11.2012 entered on Women’s Web June 2013
Being a victim doesn’t necessarily mean you are powerless, after all.
To some extent we as women live our whole lives being fearful. Look at all the preventative measures women take quite automatically, like carrying keys in clenched fists when we are out alone; crossing to the other side of the street when we see a man coming down the street; talking on the phone when we are not actually on the phone; looking for the next safe space is, where there is lighting, where there is a shop, where there are other women who might be able to help you or where there is a crowd when you hear a man’s footsteps behind you. These are evasive measures men don’t usually take...
Something that happens to the majority of women, that happens so frequently, that affects us negatively and makes us fearful is a real problem.

Don't schools, libraries and universities need OUR voices, too?

Prejudice and Reason some Australian women's responses to war
Two women, two organisations, two journals -
In their own words, feminists and reactionary women tell of their work and activism from 1909 to now, concentrating on WWI. Be prepared to be surprised. The arguments are fresh and current today.
"An awesome achievement ... long silenced voices rise up again to tell an authentic story of war and peace. Geraldine Robertson's immaculate research sheds valuable light on a much neglected, but vitally important, aspect of Australia's history."
