1 y separately published work icon The Construction of the Feminine in Family Relationships as Represented in Indonesian and Black Australian Contemporary Women's Writings Ananta Arifin , St Lucia : 1993 14215194 1993 single work thesis

'Compares the contemporary urban position within the family of Indonesian and Indigenous Australian women, as represented in the literary texts the women themselves produce. ‘State Ibuism’ for Indonesian women is contrasted with the image of Indigenous Australian women as ‘battlers’ and ‘matriarchs’ in the construction of culturally and socially appropriate female behaviour. Chapter 4 discusses a number of texts by Aboriginal women writers, particularly Sally Morgan’s My Place and Ruby Langford Ginibi’s Don’t Take Your Love to Town.' (Publication abstract)
