AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'One of the many Australians who campaigned against participation in the Vietnam War was Freda Brown (1919–2009). Among the anti-war groups she worked within, three employed a maternalist approach to many of their campaigns. Mobilising against the prevailing concept of a woman’s role to keep the home fires burning and support the troops, Brown travelled to North Vietnam at the height of the conflict. One remarkable outcome of her activism was the funding of the Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynaecology Hospital. This article explores Brown’s work in these organisations, and examines her work in transnational maternalism.'  (Publication abstract)

    'Regionalism and internationalism are themes that emerge strongly in this issue. Intersecting with these is evidence of the ever-expanding scholarship on the experiences, consequences and representations of war. These themes are not only subjects of research, but also frame much of the teaching done by historians in our universities.' (Editors introduction)
