1 [Review Essay] Country Women and the Colour Bar : Gassroots Activism and the Country Women' Association Simonne Alcorso , 2016 single work essay
— Appears in: Australian Aboriginal Studies , no. 2 2016; (p. 128-129)

'Country women and the colour bar documents the role the Country Women’s Association (CWA) played within certain communities of New South Wales between 1956 and 1972. This period in Indigenous history was governed by assimilation policies set up by the Aborigines Welfare Board. The account demonstrates how Aboriginal CWA members responded to the unique circumstances of their district and community histories to develop their own agenda for assimilation (p.xvii).'
