AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Docker challenges the feminist argument that the literature of the 1890s was dominated by male themes that idealised the bush and mateship. Argues that Robbery Under Arms neither marginalizes women nor presents male camaraderie as desirable. Concludes by stressing the need to look wider than traditional primary sources to conduct research on Australian culture.
