'Following the death of South Australia's former long-serving premier, Don Dunstan, Gough Whitlam remarked:

'It is difficult to rekindle the brightness of the light which seemed to shine from Adelaide around Australia during the Dunstan years. The fact is that no one has done more to transform his own community and society and, by his example, the whole of Australia. (xii–xiii)

'Dunstan's biographer, Angela Woollacott, set herself the task of rekindling the brightness of the light, and she succeeds admirably in this comprehensive biography of one of South Australia's – and the Australian Labor Party's – most progressive figures.' (Introduction)

    'This special issue of Australian Historical Studies brings together scholars whose work explores the political impact of the sexual and feminist revolutions in Australia. The articles illuminate the connections and divergences between the sexual and feminist revolutions of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. They explore how and why these transnational movements had distinctive and transformative impacts in Australia, both expanding and narrowing ideas about sex, gender and sexuality. The articles also examine instances when questions of gender and sexuality have become sites of political contest, and the ways in which those contests intersected with other traditions and transformations in Australian political history.'  (Editorial introduction)
