'If the extraordinary women media professionals whose life stories are told in these two books were with us today, they would, no doubt, be greatly encouraged, and probably a little surprised, by the advancements made in diversity, inclusion and gender in the modern workplace. They might be equally disappointed that this welcome progress had taken such an age and that the road ahead is still a long one. The announcement on International Women’s Day 2023 that the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) had achieved gender parity in its workforce (including its executive cohort) would have been welcomed by the Trailblazing Women in Kylie Andrews’ book who faced gendered workplace discrimination at the ABC. While the latest ABC news is encouraging, a recent ‘Women in Media’ study (reported by The Guardian, 23 February 2023) indicates that Australian women are still ‘vastly underrepresented’ in the media sector and that, at the current rate of development, media gender parity would not be achieved for at least a decade.' (Introduction)

    'We write this editorial during the coldest Easter in Melbourne since 1943. And while our journal is agnostic – despite its current home at the Australian Catholic University – we are reminded that one of the messages of Easter is sacrifice. Which leads us to acknowledge the enormous amounts of unpaid and unrecognised labour that contributes to the production of each issue of History Australia. So we thank – upfront – the generosity of our anonymous reviewers for sacrificing their time and energy to pen reviews for their colleagues at a time of ever increasing demands and uncertainties attending academic work.' (Jessica Lake, Kate Fullagar, Ben Mountford  & Ellen Warne, Editorial introduction)
