AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The intersecting fields of women's, gender and feminist history are no longer new.1 They can now claim at least fifty years of scholarly practice, and much longer traditions outside the academy.2 The heady radicalism of the early years, when the simple act of writing women's history was an activist intervention, has in some ways been muted (or at least transformed) in the process of 'mainstreaming' and intellectual development that has taken place since the 1970s. This period has seen significant growth in practice and a sophistication that has come with the proliferation of new approaches, internal (sometimes acrimonious) debate and significant challenges to some of the foundational assumptions on which these fields were initially based. As the only history journal in Australia dedicated the fields of women's, gender and feminist history, 'Lilith' has been, and continues to be, a prism through which major developments, and schisms, in the field can be read.'  (Publication abstract)

    'At this year’s Australian Women’s History Network Symposium ‘The Past is a Position: History, Activism and Privilege’, Dr Chelsea Bond urged that the past is not a position; it is ever-present. If historical representations of Aboriginal women are products of their time, Bond posed, ‘what time are we in now?’1 She suggested that stories and representations of Aboriginal women continue to enact the damage of colonial constructions. The statement resonated with those who attended as Dr Bond, Associate Professor Barbara Baird and Professor Suvendrini Perera reflected on the ways in which their academic work intersected with their activism. Beyond the symposium, the presence of the past, our past, and the academic and political conflict over its meanings and legacies, has not eased its heavy weight on the intellectual and emotional labour of feminist academics in 2018.'
