AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Kath Kenny’s monograph is an invigorating history of the women’s play Betty Can Jump, performed at the Pram Factory in early 1970s Melbourne. Extended from her award-winning doctoral thesis on theatre and film groups of the Australian Women’s Liberation Movement (WLM), Staging a Revolution, an account of before, during, and the legacy of Betty, is a vivid and endearing contribution to cultural Australian and WLM historiography. Betty, and Kenny’s historicization of it, both sit outside typical Anglo male history. As Kenny emphasises, the collective, evolving, and ephemeral nature of feminist art during the WLM means these activisms can often be forgotten. Until now.' (Introduction)

y Lilith no. 29 January 2023 27351888 2023 periodical issue Abstract 'The 2023 volume of Lilith is the first to be produced under the Managing Editorship of Alison Downham Moore, a global, medical, sexuality and gender historian from Western Sydney University who took over in September 2022 from Alana Piper. While Lilith has always been open to contributors from different world regions and authors working on any geographical or temporal field of historical studies, this volume evinces an enrichment of Lilith’s commitment to diversity and global scope, while still maintaining its important base for emerging scholarship in Australian feminist historical studies. The past year has seen the Lilith Editorial Collective welcome several new members who have contributed to this introduction and shepherded the articles contained in this volume of the journal. We have also farewelled others, including Rachel Caines, Brydie Kosmina, Lauren Samuelsson, Jennifer Caligari, Kate Davison and Michelle Staff, whom we thank heartily for their service. Moore’s editorial stewardship and the new collective bring both a renewed commitment to encouraging underrepresented voices in historical writing, including First Nations voices, providing additional support for scholars with first languages other than English, and extending a new experimental invitation to consider works of scholarship in novel genres of writing for academic journals.'
