AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'An exciting development for both feminist and media history is the current boom in studies of women’s contributions to broadcasting. Over the past decade, a growing number of scholars have uncovered previously ignored experiences and achievements of women in the industry. They have also revealed how broadcasting contributed to achieving women’s equality more broadly. Key scholarship includes the work of Kate Murphy on the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Christine Ehrick on Argentina and Uruguay, and work on Australian broadcasting by Jeannine Baker, Justine Lloyd, Yves Rees and myself.1 Kylie Andrews provides a rich addition to this growing literature with her study of four postwar women producers at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).'

    with the principal aim of promoting the study of historical biography. In her
    2023 book Biography: An Historiography, Melanie Nolan, currently director of
    the National Centre of Biography, situates biography as integral to the practice
    of history, a discipline that stresses the role of the individual rather than focusing
    solely on the structures constraining human agency.1 Consistent with this objective,
    the AJBH publishes lively, appealing and provocative articles that ‘engage critically
    with issues and problems in historiography and life writing’ as well as illuminating
    themes in Australian history.2 Since 2018, the journal has fulfilled its charter with
    three general numbers emanating from a call for papers and four special themed
    issues: Number 2, 2019, Canberra Lives (edited by Malcolm Allbrook); Number 5,
    2021, Political Biography (edited by Stephen Wilks and Joshua Black); Number 6,
    2022, Writing Slavery into Biography (edited by Georgina Arnott, Zoë Laidlaw and
    Jane Lydon), and Number 7, 2023, Convict Lives (edited by Matthew Cunneen and
    Malcolm Allbrook).' (Malcolm Allbrook: Introduction)
